Pretty sure these are sharp-tails. Found a nest of these youngsters tucked away between some sheets of cardboard used for composting in my front yard. I counted at least four, and they quickly slithered deeper under the cardboard. It’s been close to freezing at night, and I suspect there are a lot more nesting where I couldn’t see.

This popped up in my veggie beds. Think it might have come in with the load of compost.
