Temp was unusually warm and sunny (71F) briefly. Tree roots are located in a bank that borders the creek and are about 4 feet above creek level. Area can be flooded in severe flood times. </p> <p>My question the darker soil area looks newly disturbed. Could the garter snake come from within the soil/debris. It was lightly packed or is it more likely that something else disturbed the area? </p>
