Memorable Snake

Posted on May 28, 2007 - Filed Under Personal

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! Black Snake in Maryland black snake 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. 🙂 Boz
