Texas Brown Snake
Texas brown snake (Storeria dekayi texana) on a trail in Brazos Bend State Park
When I first saw this snake I wondered if it were still alive, but then it moved its tail. Given the weather conditions (hot and sunny), I figured that, though it was alive, it probably wasn't in very good shape. By the time I returned to this point it was gone, possibly grabbed by a bird, picked up by a passing human, or it moved on its own.
