When tracking turtles, it is not uncommon to come across different species of reptiles amongst the sanctuary. A common species that we often stumble upon are snakes. Pictured here is what is believed to be a Black Rat Snake (Pantherophis obsoletus) and a Northern Red-Bellied Snake (Storeria occipitomaculata); both of which are non-venomous.
