Rhadinaea flavilata, the Pinewoods snake;
Volusia county, Florida (13 April 2020).
The Pinewoods snake is a small, reclusive species that spends most of its time hidden from view. Though not particularly uncommon, they are uncommonly seen by people. We were lucky to have a fairly dense population around our home a few years back and saw them more regularly than elsewhere.
