The Tale of Two Dead Snakes

It is June and the snakes are on the move here. This beautiful red rat snake was on the lighthouse road. It was about four feet long.

This morning, I noticed this tiny guy beside the road in our neighborhood when I was walking.  It was barely four inches, only a little longer than my middle finger. It was so dried up that I really don't know what kind of snake it was. My best guess would be gray rat snake.
