Etobicoke Creek Trail, coming up the hill on my bike I spotted this DeKays Brownsnake, so I grabed a few quick images, ensured it was safely off the very busy trail and left it alone. 🐍🚲🪶📷🤠 #BikeTrails#PhotoBike#Wildlife#Nature#Reptilia#WildTO#BikeTO#BikeSauga#BikeSky#Serpent

The Dekay's brownsnake (Storeria dekayi) is brown, light brown or grey. It always has two parallel rows of small dark spots bordering a faint, wide stripe down the back. On some brownsnakes, these parallel spots may appear connected.

These are a small non-venomous species of snake in the family Colubridae. The species is native to North America and Central America.

Please be aware while they're non venomous, they do excrete a stink so try not to pick them up with your barehands. When threatened, brownsnakes may flatten themselves against the ground and release a foul-smelling musk if handled. Dekay's Brownsnakes are not dangerous to people or pets.
