Field Notes

Description:

This little snake, nicknamed Sheila, was found in an office at an independent school in Tampa, Florida. She had taken up residence inside the door. Luckily, today she evicted herself. She's probably a little over a foot long.

Habitat:

She was found in the Town & Country area of Tampa, Florida. We have a lot of marshland around us and lots of tall grass.

There is plenty of detail in this photo to distinguish this snake from a water moccasin

There's not enough detail in the photo to tell whether this is a water snake or a water moccasin. The head is blurry.
