I was out collecting branches for my skinks for climbing, and on the ground there was a large branch. The bark was loose and I could see a small snake underneath some of the bark. Since it was in the 60s the little guy was pretty sluggish.



he's 15 inches long and when I found him I was 99% sure it was a baby black rat. Looked it up and confirmed it. I guess these guys can tame down with a bit of handling.
