Question Tommy--You said the majority of northern brown snakes are non-poisonous, which of course makes me curious about the minority that aren't. You didn't actually say whether or not the one I encountered was a majority or minority type. (I'm assuming my description was too scanty to allow you to say for sure.) Are the poisonous ones dangerous to man? Are there lots of them? My little guy sure was fast when he moved; should I have stayed far away from him? Still just curious. Thanks.--Paul

Question -
I live in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C. Today I moved some bundles of dead limbs, and when I tossed down a bundle, a snake jumped out. It was about 18-22" long, 1/2-3/4" in diameter, a dull, dark brown color interrupted around its body every 3/8" or so by very narrow beige-colored lengthwise stripes that seemed patterend like a necklace chain. Its tongue was a bright red. Can you tell me what it was? Thanks
