Ring-necked Snake (Diadophis punctatus)

This is a fairly common small woodland snake in Alabama but less abundant than in the past.
This specimen is probably an intergradient.
The Alabama populations are intergradient combinations involving two or all of three subspecies,
D.p. punctatus (Southern ring-necked snake), D. p. edwardsii (northern ring-necked snake) and D. p. stictogenys (mississippi ring-necked snake)
