Storeria occipitomaculata obscura

Not to be confused with Storeria occipitomaculata.

The Florida redbelly snake (Storeria Occipitomaculata Obscura) 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 Ringnecksnake (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 Ringneck snake has no stripe and is gray.
