When my kids were little thier dad and I would take them to the Upper peninsula of michigan every summer for vacation. Of course they were ALWAYS out lookin for snakes, turtles, frogs, whatever critters they could catch. One summer we were getting firewood for camp and came across this tiny black snake with the brightest red belly. It was extremely calm, so I told the kids they could take it back with us, figuring it was a baby of some sort. When we got back home I went on the internet to look up Michigan snakes and found out it was a red-bellied snake, which only ate worms, slugs and snails. My husband (at the time) was heading back up there in 3 weeks for fishing so I told the kids he would bring her back where we found her and let her go. A week after we brought her home, I looked into her cage and found what looked like 9 little worms.....THEY WERE BABIES!..lol well my kids thought that was awesome and hoped thier dad was leaving sooner so we could send mom and babies home where they belonged.

I live at the base of the mountains in eastern California. We don't have corn snakes here, but we got enough varieties of rattlesnake to make your head spin. We also have loads of gopher snakes, mt. king snkaes, cal. king snakes, grass snakes, garter snakes, and many other types of snakes that I don't know what they are. But pretty much, if it doesn't have a rattle, it isn't very dangerouse. I have found a few gopher snakes and mt. king snakes wandering too close to the roads around here. I just wait until they move off to ensure their safety. If there are other people around (especially teenage boys), i will move it off someplace where the kids can't find it. Too many of them would kill it simply for fun...

I live in the Upper peninsula of Michigan! (Marquette) And I have only seen one of those snakes before. They are SO CUTE!! That was a lucky find for you ;) My favorite wild snakes are the pine snakes we have, they get about as big as a corn. But again good for you finding such a pretty snake. I'll have to look around harder to find one too :)
