Orange-Striped Ribbonsnake (juvenile)
Thamnophis proximus proximus
36.1524, -95.9904
Field Notes
Description:
A beautiful, slim snake that has yellow stripes down the sides and an orange dorsal stripe (hence the name, orange-striped). Also note the two yellow spots on the head. This one was a juvenile and they get bigger than this. Found swimming in some water (3rd and 5th pics), was caught for pictures and closer examination, then released. It was found less than a foot away from a Blanchard's cricket frog.
Habitat:
A small unmoving stream of water that trails away from a swampy, also unmoving, small body of water.
