Information
Snakes are rare around our house but while cutting grass in the ditch I found these two. They were about 150 feet apart. The first is a dark brown with smooth coloring. And the second was a lighter color with a little pattern.
These snakes like to eat slugs. I dont like slugs, they are so yucky slimmy. And you cant wash that slim off.
