Field Notes

Description:

Red-bellied snakes are generally very secretive and can be found hiding under logs, rocks, and leaf piles. They feed nearly exclusively on slugs.

Notes:

Found in the garden beneath the rhubarb plants. After taking a few pictures, it was safely released back in the garden.
