Little Slither

I keep finding these little snakes hiding under flower pots at work. I love the pink color on their sides. They are totally non-aggressive. This one was shedding its skin. I helped it by holding onto the loose skin while it wriggled around in my hands to free itself from its old skin. I took it home with me for some photos and so it could go eat some bugs in my mom's garden.
