Rough Earth Snake
Description:
This detail of the head shows the banding apparently present on some individuals of this species. I have also seen individuals that are just plain tan/ brown with few markings. I'll have a detail photo later showing the ridges on the scales, which differentiate this from the similar Smooth Earth Snake. (I have yet to find that species that I know of.)Virginia_striatulaPCCA20070421-1936ASee the scales here.
