Snakes

Once I was at Beaver Brook. It was in the Summer. Close to my birthday. I found a snake that was all black with only one yellow stripe along its back. It was about an inch thick and 6 inches long. First I heard my Mom yelling and I ran to her and I saw the snake. When I saw it it just slithered away. Because they can’t run.

I did as best as I could to draw the snake on the right. We looked on the internet and all we found that looks the most like it was the Garter snake.

I know a lot of snake names: Garter snake, Worm snake, Corn snake, Anaconda, Rattlesnake, Cobra, Ringneck snake Redbelly snake, Coral snake. Coral snakes are poisonous. They different colors in different combinations. The colors are black, yellow and red. The poisonous snake has red color touching yellow. Not poisonous has red touching black.

Maybe the snake I found is a new type. If it is I call it the Stripodona.
