Well I had my walking stick with me. So I probably could have. After the
original jump back, I used the stick to move some honeysuckle to get a
better look and to verify my identification. It was a beauty! I wished I
had my camera! I really did not want to disturb the snake any more. It
could have also had a friend so I did not particularly want to be picking up
more rotten logs. It was the highlight of the day.
