Description
Mud snakes are large, heavy-bodied snakes with shiny black backs and numerous red bars extending up each side. The belly of this species is checkered red or pink and black. The head is not much wider than the neck, and the scales are smooth. A spine on the tip of the tail is used to subdue slippery prey, primarily large, aquatic salamanders. Mud snakes are most active at night, and because of their secretive nature, are rarely encountered. However, they can sometimes be found crossing roads during rainy weather.
Brunswick County, North Carolina USA.
