Notes
Found shed skin down inside of an old water well. Snakes fall/crawl into wells often, sometimes to there demise if they can't get out.
I look inside of wells if around.
The skin was fresh, and its not clear if the shed blew into the well, or if the kingsnake shed its skin inside of the well..In this
case I believe many types of snakes are capable of climbing out of
this well, due to its rough brick structure..
Habitat Protected..
Skin Id'd 100 % positive with Tony Lanzi
