Kirtland's Snake
Pictures

Kirtland’s snakes are small, reddish to dark brown snakes.

Their belly is the best way to identify Kirtland’s snakes: it is red, orange, or pink and has two rows of dark spots along either side.

The scales on a Kirtland’s snake's top side are keeled, giving a textured feel to their skin.

Kirtland’s snake is reddish to dark brown, with four rows of alternating dark, round blotches on the back and sides.
