Field Notes

Description:

About to shed, hence the cloudy eyes.

Habitat:

Spotted in an upland forest in north GA. The range of this species extends from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic coast of North America

Notes:

The second pic is actually a different spotting, but I wanted to add it to show what the belly of this snake looks like.
