Notes
found under a barn door. Oddly, this snake was the only one found in the area prior to a severe flood
(more than 4 feet of water had covered the area)
where many pieces of Tin were moved by the water. How the snake avoided dying the flood (the cover looked as if had not been flipped or moved in a long time and the snake looked as if he had been under there for a wile too) i can only guess.
