Glossy Crayfish Snake Traditional Cache

Glossy crayfish snakes are mid-sized, highly aquatic snakes, ranging in length from 14 to 24 inches. The glossy crayfish snake is found in the Coastal Plain of the southeastern United States from eastern North Carolina to eastern Texas but is absent from the southern portion of peninsular Florida. The crayfish snakes are highly aquatic and inhabit a variety of wetland habitats including cypress swamps. Because glossy crayfish snakes are highly aquatic and extremely secretive they are seldom seen. The glossy crayfish snake is of conservation concern throughout its range because its reliance on aquatic habits makes it vulnerable to habitat destruction.
