Texas Brown Snake

Texas Brown Snake, Storeria dekayi texana

Texas Brown Snakes, as mentioned before, are a subspecies of brown snake. While their diet includes earthworms and slugs, snails are a primary component of their diet. They have been observed twisting snails out of their sometimes wedged shells to consume. With such a diet preference, it is not uncommon to come across these non-venomous snakes while gardening.
