Eastern Milk Snake (Lampropeltis triangulum)

The Eastern Milk Snake has a mottled grey, brown, and reddish body. This non-venomous snake is often confused for a rattlesnake, but it lacks the rattle, keeled scales, and cat-like pupils. It is found in fields, woodlands, rocky hillsides, and wetland edges and primarily eats small mammals (from Mass Audubon – https://www.massaudubon.org/nature-wildlife/reptiles-amphibians/snakes) https://www.mass.gov/info-details/learn-about-milksnakes
