The tail of the Eastern Ribbon Snake usually composes more than a third of its total body length. These beautifully striped snakes often grow to lengths between 18 and 26 inches, and are often mistaken for Garter Snakes, though Garter Snakes have shorter tails. Eastern Ribbon Snakes have a reddish brown color that is accented by three distinct yellow stripes. The middle stripe sometimes has a green to orange tint. Each stripe on the side of the snake's body is outlined on the edge closest to the belly by a darker line. This adds definition to the belly, which is usually a light shade of yellow or green. When the skin is stretched out, a double row of darker spots may appear between the stripes. There may be white or yellow bars near the eyes of the Eastern Ribbon Snake, and often the labial scales are yellow to white. All the scales of the Eastern Ribbon Snake are keeled.
