Brown Snakes are common here in Iowa and are protected. It is illegal to kill or collect this species. If you have one hanging around your garden let them be. They are beneficial predators as they eat slugs, snails, and some insects!

Their natural habitat is more suited to WETLANDS, lakes, streams, river valleys, and open grasslands with a woodland border. They are typically active during the day, so be on the look out for one the next time you are out and about.
