Red-bellied Snake vs. DeKay's Brownsnake
Two small brown snakes of the same size, found under the same boards and logs. Turn it over: a Red-bellied Snake's belly is plain bright red or orange, a DeKay's is cream or pinkish with a few small black dots at the edges. From above, the Red-bellied Snake has three small pale spots on the nape, which may run together into a collar, and a plainer back; DeKay's has two rows of small dark spots down the back.
