Boy, this season has the most snakes I've seen! There are piles and piles of them around the yard and garden. Three of the black-and-yellow variety piled here against the rock wall.
And a huge pile, over two dozen (it was hard to count, and this wasn't all of them!) of the browns and blacks, big and little. They slither every which way when they feel or see me.
And this one was in such a hurry he left his skin behind. Well, I doubt that was it. There are discarded skins lying all around - they disintegrate after a few days in the sun and/or rain. But this was interesting as it disappears into a crack in the retaining wall.
