Found three species of snakes today. Last one was a Garter that was basking in a brush pile and was unfortunately not photo friendly. This little guy was very photo friendly however. We have another flood warning tomorrow and then cold weather coming so this might be the last snakes of 2015. I keep saying that though.

Ground Snake (Sonora semiannulata) - These brightly colored snakes are found across the desert southwest of the United States but are seldom seen because true to their common name, they spend most of their time in the ground. In spring they can be found under surface objects and very rarely on the crawl in daylight. Although they might look venomous these snakes are completely harmless to humans. They eat a variety of insects including spiders, scorpions and centipedes. This snake may get up to about 16 inches long but most like this one are very small at about 8 inches in length. My son and I found this one under a rock in southern Utah this past weekend. My son picked the rock he wanted me to look under and sure enough it had this snake under it. I looked under a couple of hundred other rocks with no more success. Some days I have found up to 40 of these snakes but it was a little early and cold for them to be on the surface yet. We let him go back under a rock after his little photo session.

It has an unpleasant odour and it is often sold as a “mole-plant” guaranteed to drive moles away from your garden because of its fragrance. I hope it's true – I’ve have a mole problem in my garden.

Taken at face value this snake might seem a bit drab, though I find its slate gray scales to be quite attractive. The true beauty of this species lies in its belly, which grades from bright yellow at the anterior end to red at the tail. Though difficult to tell from this photo, hints of color can be seen peaking through.
This is a common snake seen throughout Queensland Australia. The average adult is ~2m in length and they feed on small mammals by ambush hunting. They are non-venomous and like most pythons, they often kill their prey by constricting it.
