Blogging from A to Z April Challenge: R is for Ribbon Snake

 


Above is a picture of a Ribbon Snake taken by me in it's natural habitat. Today's letter is R so it is nice to blog about a reptile I have taken photographs of and have encountered in the wild. The Ribbon Snake is  related to the Garter Snake and is offend confused as one. The snake is non-venomous and does not prey on warm blooded animals.

That’s an excellent picture! I really like how you captured it in the creek and , I bet, I came across it but thought it a garter snake

Nope, snakes don't belong in the water! I've had them startle me too many times in my youth! I know, they are more startled by me in their habitat. Not these kinds of snakes, I'm in the west. Aquatic garter snake.

Mike,

Snakes creep me out on land or in the water. I'm happy to stay far away from them, even if they aren't poisonous.
