#WildlifeWednesday: The Gulf Saltmarsh Snake (Nerodia clarkii clarkii) is a nonvenomous, generally docile species found in coastal habitats like tidal marshes and mud flats. Measuring around 15–30 inches in length, these secretive snakes often take shelter in crab burrows. Their coloration is highly variable, but they’re usually recognized by four dark stripes running down their body. They’re a fascinating resident of our coastal wetlands, and you can count yourself lucky if you see one!

Get to know “Life on the Lines” through our first report from the one-year-old Vertical Oyster Garden Monitoring Program! The report brings together data collected by Estuary Program staff, volunteers, and VOG hosts to help us better understand which areas of the bays provide the best conditions for oyster growth.
