A friend of my daughter called me. This snake was poking his head out of a split in a railroad tie used for landscaping at her apt. complex. This guy did not want to come out I had his head and about the first third of his body. I didn't want to pull so hard that I hurt him. So I got a hammer and widened the split and removed him. This is the kind of place that usually kills snakes on site. The right person saw it this time.
