Snakes so fast that they are even called racers? Not only are these snakes fast, they are beautiful too! Back in Wisconsin, we had some of these, but they were a protected species, and I never found any. Down here in Arkansas, though, they are all over the place.

Racers are members of the colubrid family, and there are many different species of them. They are a slender, nonvenomous snake that will bite to defend itself. (Just check out the video to see how quickly they can strike.) They are an egg-laying snake that will eat rodents, lizards, birds, eggs, and even other snakes.

The Brown Snake (Storeria dekayi)- This is American Brown Snake, not the Australian one.

Though it has the same common name as the extremely venomous snake from Australia, this one happens to be different. The Brown Snake (Storeria dekayi) AKA De Kay's Snake is a small snake native to North America. It took me about 18 years to see my first one in the wild and another decade to find more up in Wisconsin.

Lately, down in Arkansas, I have been encountering them more regularly. They remind me of another small nonvenomous snake called the Red-Bellied Snake, but these lack the red belly. For the most part, they eat worms and slugs, and although they have been known to grow to almost 20 inches long, most of the ones I encounter are 10 inches of less.

I picked up a GoPro in an attempt to begin filming and photographing underwater. Here is the video of me following a Northern Water Snake underwater.

Just a quick video of my tub setup for my ball python. I do put the lid on the tubs when I put them back. Oh and I mis-spoke, I use towels on top of the tubs not a blanket.
