| Queen snake |
The Queen snake is a small, harmless snake that lives
along rocky ponds and rivers, including the Grand River in Lake County. They have the most specialized diet of any
snake in Ohio, eating only crayfish.
These have become uncommon in Ohio, and they are protected as a Species
of Concern.
