Northern Ringneck Snake

A subspecies of Diadophis punctatus. A young specimen I found while collecting firewood for camping one evening. Very docile and a very pretty reptile. Captured in the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness Area, upper Michigan.

Great closeup, love the distinctive ring. Where I'm from, snakes don't occur in the wild (except for one or two adders that you never see), so any snake is exotic and interesting to me. Posted 11 years ago

I guess that must be the smallest snake in the world. Posted 11 years ago

Thanks all! This is the only time I have encountered this specie; I am assuming it is a very young juvenile. It was fairly docile as I handled it. Posted 11 years ago
