While tidying up the yard, recently, I discovered this unusual snake beneath a bucket. I had to do a bit of research to determine what type of snake it is. I found it on the Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks website and identified it as a
Coluber constrictor. I believe it is a soon to be Mama snake - based on the three lumps near the tail. Apparently, this snake eats mice and bugs, so I tried not to disturb it. No idea if it will stick around or move on......

I've never seen a racer. What a pretty snake! Yes, I really do like snakes - at least the ones that aren't trying to bite me. :)
ReplyDeleteCool snake. I love wildlife and finding out who I am sharing a home with. Some not so fun but most interesting and amazing
