Flips

[SubRosa]

Made a couple flips along some train tracks while walking the dog today. Probably the 3 most common snakes in PA, although the ringnecks aren't as commonly found, due to being more secretive. #1 DeKay's snake, Storeria dekayii #2 Northern ringneck snake, Diadophis punctatus edwardsii #3 Eastern garter snake, Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis

All 3 are pretty neat looking. It's always nice to find the hiding ones! That garter has something to say
"flips" confused me... Now I assume it means flipping rocks to find critters. haha! I'm not in the critter hunting circles.

Ironically not species I've seen much of at all, though mostly due to not being in range. Only found my first northern ringneck this past week, and seen a grand total of like 3 eastern garters. 5 Dekay's and most of those were in a 24 hour period on and near Snake Road.

Not under a rock, but I ran i to this one in my backyard recently guarding the tropical greenhouse.
