Synonyms: Northern Brownsnake.
Northern Brown Snake (Storeria dekayi dekayi) is a widespread snake of modest size, able to survive in a wide range of habitat conditions. This snake may be found in environs ranging from forest to grassy fields or pastureland, and may utilize a wide variety of wetlands and riparian habitats. Northern Brown Snakes are generally fond of surface cover objects, including rocks, logs, boards, shingles, and other debris, where they can locate their preferred prey of slugs and earthworms. These snakes may even be found in less sterile anthropogenic habitats, like vacant lots or edges of suburbs (Tennant, 2003). This is a shy snake, and may be partially nocturnal. Northern Brown Snake is found throughout Maryland (Maryland DNR site).
