Notes
I was asked to help relocate a snake whose tracks were seen close to my friend's horse at the stables. After about 10 minutes I found it coiled under a shed. It seemed to be about 3 feet long.
I tried to remove it using my tongs but it slipped away and went deep under the shed. It was never seen again. I assume my hazing motivated it to leave later that night.
