Smooth earth snake - North Florida
Connie and I were out working in the yard today, and I was trying to get rid of a bunch of grape vine root balls that were trying like hell to take over. Yanked on one clump and I saw this little earthworm looking thingie scrambling for cover.

They seem to be pretty common around here, and matter of fact, I found another one in the same area about a half hour later. I was cutting a grape vine clump with a sawz-all and just darn lucky he didn't get chopped up. Found another one last year pretty close by, but he didn't fare very well with the hedge trimmer I was using to get down low into some tangled brush. |
Those are really cool. I never saw one down here, but keep watching. BTW, that camera is awesome.

I don't think it likely that you will find one down there, but heck, you never know.

They are so pretty, also nice camera. How many mega pixels you have on your phone

Those photos aren't from a phone. I was using my Nikon D850 camera for the shots.
