Found on the road. Originally thought it was a Leopard frog and only realized it was a Pickerel after looking at these photos.
She lives in our basement! Our house is almost 200 years old and has a wet stone foundation.
**we are having our foundation fixed in a few weeks and I don’t want her home to be destroyed. Any recommendations on what to do?
Northern water snake, right? A friend found this in southern Illinois, we both sorta thought prairie kingsnake, but it sure looks like a water snake to me. I’m most familiar with Appalachian and west coast reptiles, though, and it does look just a little different than the ones I find constantly here in West Virginia.
Adjacent to baldcypress swamp
What kind of snake is this? Is it a baby? Full grown? Is it venomous ? Found on hike. Would not move if I got closer or around it. Thank you!
