Called a DeKay's snake or a brown snake. usually found in your flower gardens etc around the house. Usually grow to about 12-16" long. Harmless except for scarring the begeezers out of your wife when she's pulling weeds. Many folks mistakenly call them a ground rattler, but a ground rattler actually has rattles, pits, slitted eyes, diamond shaped head. All the tell tell signs of a full sized pit viper except on a very small scale.
