Baby Snakes

http://mdc.mo.gov
During late August, September and early October, young snakes are moving around, looking for hiding places, food or spots to hole up for the winter. Most snakes found around homes are not only harmless... they're beneficial. Many eat mice. Often these young, snakes are mis-identified as copperheads and needlessly killed. Learning to identify common snakes and their young can help protect these valuable animals. Most people won't fall in love with snakes...even baby snakes. But it is possible to appreciate the role they play in nature.

Just found a baby snake in my yard. Carefully moved it away from the area we mow to a nice woodpile next to the lake. He was a cutie!
