Name:  Eastern Fox Snake

Scientific Name:  Elaphe vulpina gloydi

Location:  Northwest Ohio along Lake Erie

Habitat:  Wetlands and marshes

Info:    These snakes are mostly docile, even when captured.  Unfortunately, their coppery head often causes them to be killed in mistake for a copperhead.  These snakes are true constrictors and swimers.
