Notes

Found this snake under a new board...the flood waters have washed a lot of my boards away, so two boards were tossed in a new location with a lot of grass. I took no grass away, so these new boards are sitting in a lot of thick grass, keeping a lot of humidy in. The snake was sitting under the board on top of the wet grass. I have found another snake in this same manner...sitting in the mess of grass. The dekayi don't seem to like the boards as well that has no grass beneath them.
