Half-emerged from a hole in the rocks along the Homewood Trail in Frick Park. If you see a snake like this in your yard, it is your friend. It is harmless to humans (unless you really mistreat it, in which case it may bite and leave you with a scratch that you probably deserved), and it eats small rodents and other things that you would otherwise be calling an exterminator to take care of.
