A couple days ago I went herping at the field near my house for the fith time this year. After lifting some tin that we expected to find snakes under I thought we were going to be skunked. I had been looking for kingsnakes there latley and hadn't found one. About ten minutes of searching my brother Ben found two Adult kingsnakes under the same peace of tin. They were mating but Ben didn't realise it until we got home. One of them had a rat in it. After we took pictures and let the other one go my brother ben spoted a rattlesnake in the grass. my brother silas went to grab for it because he thaught it was a gopher snake but then he realized it was a rallesnake. I ran over and kept scooping him up with my snake stick witch I had just got. I wasn't able to really stop the ratllesnake and he got away. On the way out I lifted A piece of bark and found a baby western yellow bellied racer. The racer was sheding. It was the best trip yet.
