This is the best head shot I got of the little guy, unfortunately a bit blurry. Still, what a cutie!

I was hiking yesterday and came across this wild snake! I think it's a "brown snake" or Storeria dekayi

They are small native snakes that eat mostly earthworms, snails, and slugs.

Please note I would not recommend messing with a wild snake, especially if you cannot identify what it is. FWIW there are only four types of venomous snakes in North America: Rattlesnakes, copperheads, cottonmouths, and coral snakes. Even these will likely pose no threat if you just respect them and leave them alone :)
