I had a wedding to attend in Atlanta a couple weeks ago and turned up these outside of Norcross, GA.

Found several of these. Most were on the crawl after dark. Is it a Smooth earth?

Also, here's a nerodia of some sort found in the same type of hab. ID please?

Worm snake (Carphophis amoenus) and midland water snake (Nerodia sipedon pleuralis), I think.

Thanks guys! (I don't know where I got Smooth earth from.)

It's the GA subspecies of Tantilla oolitica

If T.o was that easily turned up I'd be sick and tired of them by now...instead of just sick and tired of chasing them (by now.) :lol:
