Eastern Milk Snake

I got a call from a friend on Sunday afternoon, who had spotted a snake hidden in the rafters of his garage. I’m surprised he spotted it at all; less than an inch of its scales showed in the dark corner. But we got it out and put it in a container. I checked and it turned out to be an Eastern Milk Snake. He held on to it only long enough to show his son when he came home, and then put it back where he found it. Pretty neat to get to inspect one up close. Beautiful creature.
