Western Ribbon Snake (Thamnophis proximus)

Western Ribbon Snake (Thamnophis proximus proximus: Colubridae) Adults range from 51-86 cm (20-34 in) long. This one was on the upper end of that range. Given females are the larger of the gender, I would call this a female. Photographed in Lick Creek Park, College Station, Brazos County, Texas, USA. Bottomland hardwood woodland dominated by cedar elm and water oak with some water hickory at ca. 96 m (315 ft) elevation.
