That is a neat tiny tiny snake!!

I'll bet if you look around you will find more of it's siblings!

With you holding it in your hand it is very easy to see how small it is.

Thanks for rescuing it!!

You know, I didn't even think to look around for brothers and sisters. I have been finding a lot of roadkill baby snakes in the past few weeks, but those have been garters. I always thought snakes hatched earlier in the year (like the one time I found a net of just hatched garters, omg it was awesome, so many tiny noodle snakes!).

Yea, definitely glad my Mom, despite her fears, isn't a snake killer. She and I were hiking once around Devils Tower in Wyoming, and I happened to look down on the trail at the instant my boot was hovering over a young rattlesnake. Glad I was leading! I just stepped back and blazed a path around the snake through the grass for her. It was just lazily sunning itself on a rock on the trail, not even bothering to rattle. It wouldn't have been able to bite through my boot, but I am glad I didn't step on it. Mom did have a bad case of the willies, though, while I was lamenting about having left the camera behind! I always seem to not have a camera when I see rattlesnakes. I came across a gigantic one on my own in the badlands, which was sunning itself on a rock at eyeball height and not more than a foot away when I saw it (now THAT made me nervous until I backed up!).
