Notes
5 Helleri found under same board. Helleri are the most commonly found snake in this area. In the second picture you will notice an adult snake appearing to "defend" the 4 others. . Is this a parent? Defending sub adults? Some kind of parenting......?? Just a thought. First picture shows where the snake was when board is lifted. Second picture was taken right after.
*Habitat intact (as of 11-07) But in danger of being developed, and is in a highly populated area..*
