Kirtland's snake (''Clonophis kirtlandii'' ) is an endangered North American species of nonvenomous snake of the subfamily Natricinae, of the family Colubridae.〔The Reptile Database. www.reptile-database.org.〕 It is the only species in the genus ''Clonophis''.〔ITIS (Integrated Taxonomic Information System). www.itis.gov.〕 ==Etymology== The specific name, ''kirtlandii'', is in honor of Dr. Jared Potter Kirtland, an American naturalist of the Nineteenth Century.〔Beltz, Ellin. 2006. Scientific and Common Names of the Reptiles and Amphibians of North America - Explained. ebeltz.net/herps/biogappx.html#K.〕〔Beolens, Bo; Michael Watkins; Michael Grayson. 2011. ''The Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles''. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press. xiii + 296 pp. ISBN 978-1-4214-0135-5. (''Clonophis kirtlandi'', p. 142).〕 The snake was first identified by Robert Kennicott in 1855. Kennicott sent a specimen to Spencer Fullerton Baird, the assistant secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, who offered to publish a description of the animal in Kennicott's name. Baird suggested ''Regina kirtlandii'' as a scientific name, as Kirtland had been a mentor to Kennicott.
