Eastern Worm Snake

I flipped this adult Eastern Worm Snake while herping/photographing with Chris in the New Jersey Pine Barrens last week.  We drove a bunch of dirt roads hoping to find rocks, logs, and artificial cover to turn, and I found this snake under a wood pallet dumped in the woods.  Worm Snakes are small, brown snakes with pink bellies and this adult was no longer than my foot.  Their unkeeled scales reflect have an irredescent sheen to them, usually hard to depict in photographs, but the sunlight in this photo shows off this trait rather well.

    Beautiful pose, and I’m loving the light. That harsh sun really worked well.
