Notes
It was at that kid's park just north of Finger Lakes Park. I can't seem to remember the name of it. Anyway, their was about an 8 by 10 piece of think wood...was part of a hanging sign that had fallen off. It was laying on the ground in front of the larger sign. I picked it up and there were ants and this little guy too. There was also the snake shed of a larger snake totally and completely adhered to the backside of this piece of wood. Could have actually been an adult Ring-necked Snake skin. This little snake was pretty...as if it just shed within the past few days or so.
