Field Notes

Description:

Spotted in Chattahoochee National Recreation Area in Atlanta, GA nestled under a rock. It may look dull and plain, but I think this snake is a beauty.

Notes:

In case you were wondering, the gloves are used when possible to prevent getting chemicals (i.e. sunscreen), my smell, etc., on the animals and to avoid any disease spread.

It looked like it was posed in a studio until I realize the blue was gloves. Such a neat background for your snake.
