Anyone know what kind of snake this is? It was found in my friend's basement in Avon tonight.
Sure looks like one. Its belly has a checkerboard pattern.
It's either an Eastern Milk snake or a Western Fox Snake. Not sure how far the Fox snake range goes south. Pupils look dilated. Dead?
The pic makes it look bigger than it is. It was only a little more than a foot long. I think you are right. It looks like a mouse had a bad day.
