Tried a spot today we got skunked at a couple weeks ago that had a LOT of promise, and glad we did.
While out there a couple weeks ago, I spread out a bunch of boards that were all piled up, and turned up 4 baby checkered garters just like this one:
Walking around back trying to avoid the MASSIVE fire ant population, I saw what appeared to be a LARGE red bull entering the broken down shed. I ran over and grabbed what was still exposed, but couldn't get him to turn around. (I'd guess around 4'-5' or so)
A peek inside through the planks of wood revealed another LARGE snake- both were Texas rat snakes, with a LOT of red!
Had to let go, ran around to the other side to get in, and they were long gone under the floor boards...
My son and I had a blast, and found another very promising spot that turned up nothing today, but we'll be back!
