Lined snake

This small snake has a ground color of gray, tan, or light brown. There is a pale white, gray, or yellowish stripe down each side on scale rows two and three, and one down the midline. Above the two light side stripes there is usually an indistinct, dark, faded line or series of semi-connected dots. The head is somewhat pointed. The upper labial scales are pale and have no markings. The belly is whitish to cream and has two rows of dark half-moon shaped blotches down the midline. The scales are keeled.
