Just a Wee Night Snake

The most recent late-evening-walk-appearing creature was this wee little snake.  (It was indeed quite wee, about eight inches long, and no thicker than a finger.) The interwebs seems to suggest that this critter was a Texas night snake. The diet of such a snake consists primarily of lizards -- and given the population explosion of minuscule lizards that occurred after the hailstorm, it's unsurprising that the snake was out and about, looking for a meal. Good luck, snake, and let us hope that any humans you encounter will appreciate you and leave you alone. 

Giant snake?

No - teeny snake.
