Memorable Snake

Oz!
I can’t believe after our discussion of snakes that I came home from my Memorial Day Picnic outing to find a black snake (Elaphe obsoleta ) on my front lawn!
He created some excitement to say the least. It was about 5-6 feet long but rather small around.
I was certain he wasn’t dangerous, as we have had black snakes in our yard before. An adult snake can be as large as 8 feet.
Maryland boasts 27 species and subspecies of snakes, only two of which are venomous. These are the timber rattlesnake and copperhead.

John and Barb have been having cultural exchanges over tea for nearly 10 years. Now they're going public. :)
