Two for one in situ shot

Flipping tin and got a two for one in situ shot of a Northern Copperhead and an Eastern Worm Snake. The worm snake is about two feet to the left of the copperhead. Hanover County.

or is it an earth snake?

Great find!!

Awesome finds!
The smaller snake is an Eastern Smooth Earthsnake (Virginia valeriae valeriae).

Thanks! Still trying to tell the difference between them:)

worm snakes have pink bellies and the earthsnake has a white belly

and the earthsnake usually has little black dots going down its back. if you look close you can see the black dots on the snake in the pic u posted

Bobby, Those are good ID tips.

Most people are surprised to learn that the majority of our native snakes only reach an average adult length of 3 feet or less.

Those are great tips! Thanks!!
