We recently hiked with a friend at Strawtown Koteewi Park<\/a>. It’s a nice, nearby place to get a quick nature fix. We saw a bunch of lovely sights which I utterly failed to capture for posterity. But I did whip out the phone when we saw the baby snakes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This little fella might have been a foot long (30cm) fully stretched out. He was racing across the trail and back into the woods just as fast as his little body would take him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not completely sure, but I think it’s a non-poisonous northern brown snake. It’s hard to identify really young snakes. Plus, I didn’t want to get super close, both just to be a nice person, and also because I could be wrong about the non-poisonous bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We soon saw another…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then a third…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This little one was about eight inches (20cm).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were more, but I didn’t get pictures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can see some pictures of bigger snakes here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
