I saw this snake around the same location as the copperhead. Me and my little brother caught him basking on a muddy trail under some powerlines. At first we weren't sure what species it was, but a quick check in our field guide revealed it was a ring-neck. Around 1 1/2 ft, he was almost fully grown. This snake was extremely calm when captured and never once tried to bite. What I found so unique about this snake was that his scales reflected the rainbow when in the sun and his belly had a beutiful yellow colored pattern.
