Storeria occipitomaculata obscura, the Florida redbelly snake, is a snake that ranges from the northern peninsula to southern Florida. they are found in pinelands, bogs, marshes, ponds,and swamps. They will grow to be 8-10 inches (the largest being 16 inches). They look similar to the ring-necked snake (because of the red belly and the ring around its neck). it is distinguished from them because the Florida redbelly snake has a stripe down its back and it's brown while the ring-necked snake has no stripe and is gray.[citation needed]
