Snake Skin Suit
Filed Under Snakes, Summer 2009
A couple of nights ago I saw the shed outer skin of a Black Rat Snake. Today I found the guy who probably shed this skin, lounging in the woods in his new suit.

I encountered a real snake in the grass today, literally. This guy let me get right up into his face for a portrait. I tried to identify the species but was unable to find a close enough match in the book I have. Can anybody help me with an identification? Thanks.

I’ll bet that most people don’t know that the Black Rat Snake, common in Delaware, is very good tree climber. It actually will nest in trees sometimes. If you walk in the woods in Delaware look up for snakes.
