My second eastern milksnake was found under a rock while we were looking (unsuccessfully) for copperheads. It was a lot smaller than I thought it would be, assuming they’d start life out somewhere near the size that I see our Lampropeltis of similar adult size. He sat on some nice contrasting moss for a bit for some photos before he was returned to under the rock where he was found.

Now, that’s a pretty snake!
He was definitely an awesome little guy! The only thing that would have been more beautiful is if it were the copperhead I was TRYING to find 🙂
