I made a beautiful new snake friend who let me get close and introduce myself. It is called a broad-banded water snake (Nerodia fasciata ssp. confluens) but also responds to “Richard” as far as I can tell. Since this species is nonvenomous, I stroked Richard’s tail. Richard was not fond of being touched and bashfully escaped to a hole in the ground. This got me thinking – where does a snake’s tail end? Is the entire snake a tail, with the exception of its head? Please let me know. -- source link
