Uh oh. Baby snakes usually have brothers and sisters. I'm not familiar with a snake like you are describing. We live on a lake so we have a lot of snakes here--copperheads, brown water snakes, garter snakes and lots of rat snakes. I've seen rat snakes up to 4 feet long in my garden. We usually find a few live ones each summer and find a lot of old skins between our RV and the fence. Also behind the shed where I keep tomato cages and gardening stuff. I understand their purpose but it doesn't make me like them any better! I totally understand your fear. I always worry about the dog being bitten because she's just too brave to know any better. I will keep an eye on this thread to see if anyone knows what kind of snake this is. Good luck!
