Yard rescue relocation! I guess I get to repopulate the area that got burned behind my house!
In the maintenance shop, my husband captured it and relocated to the woods

This record gleaned from field journals I kept between 1968 and 2002. The first 6500+ records I posted on iNat had photo documentation, but now I am posting these records which do not have photos just to provide the data point for the species and location as best as I can for the historical record. I will also add a number to represent the approximate number of individuals of this species I recorded on the given day if more than one.
In my old journals this location is only recorded as "near Westlake, Bleckley County, Georgia". In the late 60s there was an area of abandoned buildings in a rural setting where we regularly hunted snakes. There were several nearby creeks, brushy fields, lots of scattered tin roofing on the ground, etc. I'm sure the area is populated with humanity now. The location is shown as close as I can get to the original location.

This record gleaned from the pages of "A Field Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians" by Roger Conant in the Peterson field guide series. I had a 1958 copyright edition of this book as a teenager, and still have it. In my younger years I wrote the location and date where I saw and/or captured certain species directly onto the pages of this book, and thus the information to provide this record comes from that.

The Corn Snake (Elaphe guttata), or Red Rat Snake, is a North American species of Rat Snake that subdues its small prey by constriction. The name "Corn Snake" is a holdover from the days when southern farmers stored harvested ears of corn in a wood frame or log building called a crib. Rats and mice came to the corn crib to feed on the corn, and Corn Snakes came to feed on the rodents. The Oxford...
