Found a Texas Rat Snake entangled in netting in Rain Barn.
The Caretaker carefully and gently cut away the netting to free the snake, using scissors and a very tiny knife that cut the net, but did not harm the snake. When free, it was set loose at the man made pond, where it swam across then turned to look at Caretakers.
The Texas Rat Snake freed from netting and ready to be set free.
Caretakers Note: It is very important to secure netting of any kind in an enclosed container to avoid injury to wildlife.
