#wildlifewednesday Ribbon snake The ribbon snake is a non-venomous species of snake found in aquatic and high-vegetation areas such as marshes, ponds, streams, and lakes. Ribbon snakes are brown with three distinctive stripes, typically yellow, one down the middle of the back and one down each side, that alternate with the brown body. The ribbon snake is active from April to October and hibernates during the winter months, so they are heading in for their long nap soon! | New Jersey State Parks,
