It’s a vine with a dark purple stem. Haven’t seen flowers yet.
Austintown, Ohio which is in Mahoning County. My 8 year old son spotted this snake today walking out from turkey hunting. This is not a snake I have seen before. Is it a Dekay’s snake?
Very weak and shallow breathing. Protruding hips, very thin.
Found in a rotten log next to a vernal pool. 2 individuals were also heard calling.
