Notes
Warm and sunny. A ball of smooth greens was observed. I had three snakes in hand, but I believe at least a few more crawled away before I reached in. I am unsure if this was mating, combat, or something else.
As is very typical of this species I have noticed...This was in a disturbed area at the periphery of their preferred habitat.
