Snakes are People, Too!

I know snakes are a sore subject with most people, but the fact of the matter is they are an important part of nature and can be found anywhere. This particular snake was in a drainage canal just north of Wildwood Park in Shreveport...in the middle of the city. I first noticed the snake because Hart was excited about something he saw. I couldn't/didn't want to get close enough to identify the species, but keep in mind this was about twenty feet from someone's backyard!
