Notes
There was an unreal number of snakes out this night. It was a pity that we got out so late.
It was only after I looked through my pictures that I noticed some manner of plastic entanglement on this Speck's head. It did look "off" while we were taking photos, but I presumed it was merely an old scar. Once we determined it was not, we went to the same place over the next couple weeks in the hopes of finding it, to no avail.
