Water Drains of Death

Man, i went looking in a big flow control drainage ditch with warren one time and we didn't find that much stuff.... wrong drain on the wrong day!

I was walking by a drain today near my house and i saw five snakes!

3 were probably some kind of like, racer, biggest one was over 3'

one was a little rattlesnake....

but one was huge!  it was at least five feet long! i think it maybe an escaped corn snake. it was a fairly bright orange/red color... i think it had a bit of some kinda pattern... and it had a like, black "neck".  

the four ~known snakes are probably toast (in fact, i think one of the racers was already dead) but that long orange snake slithered into a concrete joint area and might actually live there long term

you gotta give me directions to it.
I still visit the other one when ever I can and have saved countless amount of lizards and even a baby rattler.

i don't know of any good way to get to it, though... the top is way fenced off

there is a relatively easy way around some of the fencing but i couldn't explore as i thought i heard dudes on the other side of the fence



i saw the orange snake here

it was on the center "divider" piece on the eastern side, about 10-20 feet back from the tip




here is one of the few spots you can go from the east to west side of the canal, and vice versa
