Notes
Went out this morning, and came across a tree covered in shed skins. I assumed Texas Rat Snake since they are the most common arboreal snake we have. Figured the female probably laid her eggs there and they recently hatched.
So I went back this afternoon to get some pictures, and stumbled across 2 of the hatchlings.
