I have no idea what kind of snake this is.   This baby snake was on the driveway this evening.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

I was HECHO EN MEXICO, but assembled in Texas and I'm Texican as the day is long...  Psalm 127:4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

Looks like Brown Snake to me.
The book calls it a "Texas Brown Snake".
It has been hotter and drier than Hades down here maybe he caught a fast horse headed north...  ;)

Don't know what kind of snake it is, but it looks perfect sized for one of Zander's pens.  Even baby snakes are in danger around my place.  And I like snakes.... >:D

Yup, that's my call too.  I've actually had one of those flatten it's head on me and mimic a rattlesnake.
