Northern Red-bellied Snake
I was moving some dirt with my backhoe when I spotted this bright reddish-orange object. It was a Northern red-bellied snake (Storeria occipitomaculata).
These are very small snakes and this one is full grown at about 12 inches.
The head of this snake is about the size of a pencil eraser. The mouth is so small it would have a hard time biting anything.
