Black Snake Caught on the road - Oak Ridge, NC. June 1992
Worm Snake You will seldom ever see one of these small, harmless snakes. They are virtually blind and live in the soil, sometimes in very hard packed dirt. I usually see them when digging in the garden, and then only momentarily as they are quite fast. If you're lucky enough to catch one, they may relax a bit, but remain quite wirey and active in their attempt to gain their freedom. They take their name from their main diet - worms. Found in my backyard in Greensboro NC.
