There is a large stack of bricks (hundreds) by the fire pit in my backyard. I put a piece of plywood on top so it could serve as a table. Well this spring I found an Eastern Kingsnake living in there!!!
A friend of mine is running a citizen scientist project to collect data on Kingsnakes. You can read more about her project here and download a flier here. She came out to collect data on the snake and take pictures, and then we moved it outside my fence to keep it safe from the dogs.
Having worked at the Chattahoochee Nature Center, I was able to identify it immediately as harmless. You can learn to identify snakes of Georgia too by visiting the Savannah River Ecology Lab website.
