Picked up this hatchling Northern Ringneck Snake at the Nixon Park Nature Center Tuesday. Please excuse my dirty, wrinkled hands, but the ring shows its size.
It's a small snake, even fully grown, but this was more like an earthworm. Even at this size, there were still visitors to the nature center that were afraid of it.
As an adult, it eats amphibians, other snakes and slugs. The naturalist says it grows to about the size of a pencil.
But now, it's smaller than a good sized earthworm.
