First find was a young Green Frog.
Then a redback attacked Andrea and tried to get into her purse...
Then we found a Garter Snake and a Milk Snake at the same time... multiple hands were required.
Then we got Milk Snake and Ringneck fever! This little shoestring sized milksnake was biting Andrea AND a ringneck three times his size. What an asshole!
Two more ringnecks were hiding out nearby!
Eventually, we hit the dam, which was cleared after all. It looks way different...
This snapper didn't appreciate the tarp that was still there...
I untangled her and she turned around and buried herself in some mud.
The dam area, formerly known as snake alley, wasn't too snakey, but at the end of it, a huge arsed water snake was hanging about.
We found one more Garter Snake on the way out and this one did me bad... he musked the fuck out of me. We always say that we'd rather get bitten than musked. It's true. Garter snake musk smells like rotting skunk assholes and it is impossible to wash off. Still, he was a cutie-pie.
A big day... Ponkapoag redeemed itself!
