I saw this little snake on Thursday the 16th and it was polite enough to hold still while I got out my camera to take its portrait. It’s an Eastern Worm Snake (Carphophis amoenus amoenus). They spend a lot of time underground and I can only imagine that this one was on the surface because of all the rain that has recently fallen hereabouts. Sighted him/her a mile or two south of the Mohican Outdoor Center in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. It was about 9 or 10 inches long and about as big around as my little finger.
