Yeap, and love finding them that way, when its ALL snake under the cover...One of my first kings when I was a kid, was found as I walked along and heard a thunk under my foot. I reached down an lifted this tiny piece of tin and found a beautiful adult banded under it..It was ALL kingsnake under that tin, I still remember my heart racing as I ran back to show my dad, (like a dog who just just found a great big bone to chew on)LOL

That just goes to show you, there's pretty much no board too small to find something under it. Very cool shots.
