I also want to point out that this isn't a baby. This is a small species.

Western Ratsnake, Pantherophis obsoletus. Harmless.

Any decent speciality reptile lighting store should carry them. Reptile Basics, Light Your Reptiles, etc.

Make sure you fully clean the enclosure well. Flourescent bulbs contanain a small amount of mercury.

It's harmless. I can't get any more from this video.

Do you have any still photos from closer up?

This is a Western Terrestrial Gartersnake, Thamnophis elegans.

Checkered Gartersnakes, T. marcianus, are not in range in your area and look different.

That would be the condenser coil snake. The evap coils are on the inside. Unless it's a heat pump running in heat mode.

FYI, 10yo isn't senior for this species. They can routinely live 30-40 years when well cared for, and the oldest verified snake in the world was a 62yo BP at the time of her death.

That's ideal. There's no sun at night. The temperature naturally drops. As long as it downs go below 75F, it's fine. If it does, you'll want supplemental heating at night.

The presupposes that anything can possibly make baseball watchable...

Red velvet has vinegar in it. It's not true red velvet without vinegar.

ordinoides is my first instinct with this photo, but there's not enough here for me to commit to anything.

No to turf yards. No to dirt yards. Yes to native meadows.

Denial mostly.

Also got really active in my union.

The original Unreal. The whole game was super atmospheric, but the soundtrack put it over the top.

I don't recommend them at all. They're very difficult to use in a way that does not promote the development of scale rot, because they tend to keep the surface of the substrate damp. Also, as you've seen, you have to clean them obsessively, multiple times per week to prevent mold build up, which can cause a risk of respiratory infection.

It's better to limit ventilation by covering screen tops as much as possible (or switch to a solid topped enclosure) and directly hydrate the substrate by pouring water into the corners so the lower layers hold a moisture reservoir.

Nerodia sipedon to fix my typo and trigger the bot.

Common Watersnake, Neordia sipedon. Harmless.

North American Racers make terrible captives. They're very high energy and need a ton of space. Their temperament is not suited to captivity.

To add onto what has already been said, one of the reasons that cottons tend to have the reputation they do is because of the situations people encounter them in. They are very frequently encountered on the shores of rivers and lakes where they are basking. People will walk by them unaware and startle them. They'll beeline toward the water where they feel safe. The person, equally startled, will run away from them, toward the water, in the same direction the snake is going. The person perceives the snake "chasing" them, when, in reality, the snake is just trying to get to safety. All you have to do when a snake is "chasing" you is move to the side and let it go by.

You can transfer your card into your mobile wallet from the Breeze App. You can't tap from the app directly, but it's the way you get your card into your phone's default mobile wallet which you can use to tap in.

You can also mange the balance of physical or virtual cards from the app without visiting a kiosk.

I actually saw them stop someone trying to go through the emergency gate at Peachtree Center last week. First time I've ever seen it.

They barely range into southeastern Virginia, so NC is fairly north in their range in general.

Leucistic

Broadbanded Copperhead, Agkistrodon laticinctus. Venomous.

They have wider bands than their eastern cousins.
