Snake ID?
This small, 229mm (9 inch) is native to most of the eastern U.S.
The snake is very gravid, how many eggs should be expected?

At first glace i thought it was a Northern Brown Snake(Storeria dekayi), but they don't lay egges, their live birthers.
If its not that, not sure.

I thought Smooth Earth Snake (Virginia valeriae valariae) but they are live bearers, not egg layers.

It is indeed a Smooth Earth Snake (Virginia valeriae valariae) and you're right they are viviparous.  |

Yeah...I guess that technically, they are still born in egg sacks. The eggs are just retained or I've heard that arguement before.
