No she was pretty big. I'd say she's about as long as I remember snakes getting.Though I never knew they were brown snakes. I always thought they were some kind of garter. But then this is the sort of expert analysis that I joined this forum for.

I suppose its not that surprising, my yard is full of snails, slugs, worms, grubs, and plenty of places for snakes to hide. If anything the surprise was how long it took me to find one. As I suspected it happened when I wasn't looking.

As for food, it took me about 3 minutes to find some nice juicy snails for her. I hope she likes them.

Though I did see a ribbon snake once, near the old train tracks, that was the largest snake I've ever seen in the wild. Though those are quite rare where I live. I'm told they used to be more common, my father told me that at one time we had frogs as well as snakes.
