Desert Nightsnake

A Desert Nightsnake (Hypsiglena chlorophaea) from the same trip as the previously mentioned Black-Tailed Rattlesnake. Although slightly venomous, they’re completely harmless and I’ve never had one attempt to bite me. I love their big cat-eyes.

Here’s the same little snake sitting on top of my ripped up fingernail. Fancy little guy.
