Long-nosed Snake vs. Ground Snake
Both live in the far southwest of Idaho and can be banded black, red and pale. A: the Long-nosed Snake has a long, pointed snout that juts past the lower jaw; the Ground Snake's head is small and rounded, barely wider than the neck. B: the Long-nosed Snake's black saddles are flecked with cream and its pale and red spaces flecked with black; the banded Ground Snake's black bands and orange saddles are clean, and many Ground Snakes are plain.
