We just caught a couple of these!
These are some pretty cool harmless snakes that we did not meet until we moved to the Ozarks. We had these back in Wisconsin too (supposedly), but I never encountered any. These are rather small, but I tried my best to get some good photos of them prior to releasing them in our garden as part of our "organic pest control" team.
As part of their defense mechanisms, they flip their tail upside-down and coil it, displaying the brilliant red or orange underside. Here are some of my favorite photos.

Until next time…
STEEMIT LIKE YOU MEAN IT!
