Northern Red Bellied Snake

Beautiful snake. Cool spotting Cheryl Lee.

Hi Cheryl. This is a great sighting. Red-bellied Snakes are poorly understood in Connecticut. They are probably more common than we think but records are scattered throughout the state. I would like to add this record to the Herpetological Education and Research Project. We maintain a database of records for North American herps. If you are interested in allowing me to enter this record, please contact me at ctherpatlas at gmail dot com.

So cute!

Wow, that's a big one! All of the ones I have seen have been much smaller. It must be living good there :) I found a really small one in Atlanta, GA http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/6877772

I found this guy while gardening too... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7505919
