Found a snake in the building at work today!

"The Great Indoors"

After a brief shriek and a little commotion, we managed to wrangle the beast. Turns out he was just a little northern ring neck; not much bigger than a penny. A lady a couple cubicles up from me saw it on the floor, thought it was a rubber band, went to pick it up, and then screamed! Pretty cool little snake! I stress little.

I took a couple pictures with my iPhone...

I recently found a ring snake in our garage while sweeping it out. About the same size as the one you found. Unfortunately it was dead. At least I think it was or its really good at playing possum. It wasn't stiff or anything so it may have been giving me the run around. That was the third snake I have found in the garage this summer. Found the ring snake, a garter snake, and a rat snake. This year has been weird with snakes around where I live. All snakes were released back into the wild after some intense wrastlin"

The ring necked snake is an awesome find! They don't get very big and I have only ever found a dead one when I have been out snake hunting.

Did you pull your Gun?

Thats an awesome looking snake!! Ive never seen one of those before!!

Apparently it's slightly poisonous and only poses a "little threat" to humans.

Wife found one of those in our yard last summer. I caught it and tried taking pics so I could figure out what it was but the pics didn't do it justice. They are cool. We also find a few of the green snakes around here. I really like snakes but my wife hates them! The only ones that get killed are the ones in our house or copper heads.

Normally the mildly-venomous ones cause a bee-sting link reaction in humans. I keep a Western Hognose as a pet, she's mildly venomous if she eats her normal diet of frogs. She's rear-fanged so I would have to stick my finger down her throat and lift UP in order to get bitten. Since she eats rodents she's most likely completely "inert" now.

Cute snake - I never find anything fun where I work.

I don't like snakes because of the startle factor they cause. This little guys would have freaked me out. I've been know to do a 3 foot verticle jump from a standing still position when a snake has startled me. You would have been peeling me off the ceiling if I had tried to pick up a rubber band and it turned out to be a snake.

For me, the word "cute" and "snake" just don't go together...I have never be fond of snakes.

I have an albino corn snake. She is hunter orange with red eyes. Not a real sneaky snake.

The Big Question? Did it taste like chicken?

 

[farmerdan]

We find a lot of those at My folks place I've never seen one much bigger than that, the cat catches quite a few of them

Oh, the ring neck is my favorite. We adopted one as a class pet back in my herp days at undergrad. That's about par for the course on size. I've seen two near my dad's in Owen County.

Thats a neat looking snake. I have never seen anything like that before.

Shouldn't have told me that. Now I get to catch them and watch you run. Lol

Snake hunting!?!?!?!? Me and snakes have an agreement, distance.
