The Red Milk Snake is a small tri-colored snake with redish, black, and yellow/white stripes. They can be found under logs or piles of leaves during the day.

Young copperheads have a sulfur yellow tip on their tail.

A slender bright green snake with a white or yellow belly, the rough green snake is well camouflaged and uses that to its advantage when hunting insects.

This dark salamander has a varying number of scattered white flecks on its back. They like to hide in dark moist areas. The slimy salamander is so named, because when they feel threatened or are handled roughly, they excrete a gooey-white substance from their skin.
