Beautiful snake! Two days ago one of my friends in the GA DNR posted a photo of a EDB he found at a nearby wildlife management area. I thought it looked familiar so I went back to my HerpMapper records. Sure enough, I photographed the snake as a 2-3 year old juvenile way back in June 2017! It made me so happy to learn the snake survived the property becoming public land, and then numerous road crossings and hunting seasons. Everyone is so trigger happy to kill these snakes down here, it makes me sad.

Also, the plant you have in your backyard is a native coral bean! It should have beautiful, showing red tube flowers soon if not already. It responds well to trimming, so if you need to trim it back you can with no problem.
