Prairie Ringneck Snake Photos

  What a beautiful little snake!  They're considered rare in South Dakota, only found in the far southeastern part of the state.  Found this guy sunning himself near Sioux Falls, and it's still the only one I've ever seen.  Wish I was able to get some better pictures of him.
