Notes
We had rescued many snakes off the road that day that were fleeing from the flood waters. while taking a break and talking to a couple of fishermen that were taking advantage of the new water that had brought them in a full stringer of catfish. I looked down and saw this snake with its head protruding out of a rodent hole coming up to get some air. We rescued over 100 snakes off the busy road in a mater of two days.
