They are also referred to as "earth snakes" for their tendency to burrow underground. Other synonyms for the word storeria include "kept snakes", "garden snakes" and "smooth snakes". Regardless of the term used, these tiny reptiles play an important role in the ecosystem and pose no threat to humans or pets.
