Sharp-tailed Snake (Contia tenuis) is a harmless, native reptile in the Colubrid Snakes (Colubridae) family. Amphibians and Reptiles of California (includes photos, description, and subspecies range maps): https://californiaherps.com/snakes/pages/c.tenuis.html Sharp-tailed Snake (Contia tenuis) is commonly described as harmless or not poisonous to indicate that its bite is not dangerous, but not venomous is more accurate. (A poisonous snake can hurt you if you eat it. A venomous snake can hurt you if it bites you.) Size: Adults average 8 - 12 inches in total length (20.3 - 30.5 cm), with some nearly 18 inches long (45.7 cm). Hatchlings are about 3 inches long (7.6 cm). Appearance: A small thin snake with a small head and a sharp point on the end of the tail. Color and Pattern: The head of an adult is typically medium to light olive-gray or brown with black flecking or blotches, occasionally with orange blotches. Dorsal coloration is rusty, brick-red, or orange-red. Most adults have either faint or distinctly-colored brick-red or orange-red dorsolateral stripes extending from the head along the front third of the body where they blend into the body color. Occasionally the reddish coloration and dorsolateral stripes are not present. Irregular black bands mark the ventral side. The underside is pale with a black mark across the edge of each scale. The black marks becoming faint or absent towards the tail, and absent from the anal plate and the caudal scales.
