Field Notes

Description:

Small snake. Light brown, with patterning on its back and a lighter, solid colored underside. It was not happy to be handled, and it pooped on me.
These guys eat mainly worms, slugs, and snails.

Habitat:

Found on a paved path near a lake, in Lullwood Park at Emory. This species typically lives near water.
