Ring-necked Snake
I photographed this Ring-necked Snake on the same day and location as the Red-bellied Snake I posted. This was on an Arkansas Country Road near my place in the Ouachita Mountains. The Red-bellied Snake and this Ring-necked Snake were my first time seeing and photographing these types of snakes.

How I Got The Photo – Ring-necked Snake
When I approached this snake, it stopped, and I crouched down while hand-holding my camera.
