Opheodrys vernalis
(Harlan, 1827)
Iowa Co., Iowa. May 16, 2009.
This snake was wiggling in the tall grass right in front of me, and I managed to slap a hand on it. It took me a while to finally find a smoothie. Some workers assign this species to Liochlorophis.
My Flickr album for this species is here.
