Dekay's Brown Snake - Storeria dekayi

I love these tiny snakes! In this shot, I was holding it between my fingers, trying to get a shot of its face...

Small, tan snake with two rows of dark brown spots down its back. This snake was approximately 10-12 cm long.

Habitat: Spotted along the bank of a river in a deciduous forest.

  Thank you!I suck at it too, but I managed this shot by sitting on the ground all scrunched up with my camera balanced on my knees...and of course, I held my breath. I would have liked to get some more clarity, but I still thought it was a neat shot.
  
  PS - I think it would be so funny to see photos of photographers in the weird, awkward positions that they find themselves in, just so they can get a shot... Posted 6 years ago
