Stefan...good call! Nice...Looks exactly like the pic in the link Steve posted. Mavsfan, from what I have read, these snakes feed on earthworms...they are very secretive...come out at night...are very nonaggressive...if it were to bite it would not do any damage. In other words, it is unlikely that it will bite you, but it is a snake...all snakes bite from time to time...even garters...but it is non-venomous and will not harm you. They are found in Texas. You may want to check laws there because it is illegal to own them in Iowa and some other states, I do not know about Texas. If you do find out that it is illegal to own them, though, at least take care of her until her wounds heal from her injuries.
