Field Notes

Description:

Slim snake, about 3 feet long, brown and tan stripes al along it's body, tan bottom, small head.
I founded strange that this cute snake was right at my front door (lights on).It stayed very still when I came out so I went to get my camera and something to move her into the forest, after I shoved it to the forest (bosque) I notice this toad there by the other planter a few feet from where the snake was...I understood what was happening then... I shoved it into the forest also. I guess I saved it from the snake. It never said thank you!!
