Found this tiny guy in the pool size of a pencil told my girlfriend I would not hold it till I know what it is. My thought was an grey oaks snake but I don't really knowhttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/22/a6evyhuq.jpg

some sort of Coluber (racer). I'd need to be near my field guides for potential full ID.

Try to catch an adult! I can do it now, but it took me a while to learn.

I am far slow and out of practice that is why I am looking for a local to help me out

looks like a garter but more likely black racer
