Brown Snakes
DeKay's Brown Snake
(Storeria dekayi)
DeKay's Brown Snakes are found throughout the eastern US, but are absent from high elevations in the mountains. In extreme southern Georgia and Florida, brown snakes are replaced by the closely-related Florida brown snake (Storeria victa). Dekay's Brown Snakes are terrestrial, secretive and seldom found in the open. They are nocturnal, but are most often found under surface objects such as boards, trash of all sorts, logs and rocks. They are generally found more often in human-disturbed areas than in natural habitats.
