Storeria occipitomaculata obscura

Storeria occipitomaculata obscura, the Florida redbelly snake, is a snake that ranges from the northern peninsula to southern Florida. If you want to find one look in pinelands, bogs, marshes, ponds,and swamps. They will grow to be 8-10 inches (the largest being 16 inches). They look similar to the ring-necked snake (because of the redbelly and the ring around its neck) but you can distinguish them because Florida redbelly snake has a stripe down its back and it's brown while the ring-necked snake has no stripe and is gray.
