Eastern Snakes Forum
[ Reply | Eastern Snakes Forum ]
To ask a question about a snake, don't reply to this post, go to the forum home page and start a new post. Your question will get a lot more exposure. Please give us an idea of where you live, as reptiles can often be identified only by locality!
Please do not place messages about killing a snake, and asking what kind it is you have killed! That is like going onto a message board about dogs and telling about torturing one to death, and asking what kind of breed it was. You will likely get "flamed", and likely by the forum owner, depending on his mood that day.
A note about head shape in snakes: Head shape is a totally useless character for identifying a snake, and has nothing to do with whether the serpent is or is not venomous (poisonous). Many harmless snakes, especially when young, have rather large heads. Please describe color, pattern, markings, and habitat where the snake was found. The shape of the head will not help us in any way.
Thank you.

I was at a friend's in the Central Savannah River Area of Georgia? She does not live in a wooded area although the back of her lot is not mowed and has trees. She is surrounded by neighbors and the back of her lot is on a major highway. A small snake (?) was in her den which faces the back and has a storm door without a bottom guard. The snake was small enough to crawl under the door. It was about 6-8 inches long. There was a distinctive head and a distinctive tail (unlike worms). Are there any lizards that look like that in baby stages? I assumed it was a snake. Maybe grey since it was their hatching time. But I would like to know if any lizards look like that?
