Late afternoon today, Gabby came in and said she found 3 snakes. I went out back with her to the prairie grass area. She turned over a plastic stepping stone(I had put it there as a snake hide) There were only 2 snakes, now. Very nice dark brown phase radixes, a male and female. I took a few photos and had her return them to their hide. When she turned the hide over, the third snake had returned. It was a male lite phase radix. 80 degrees here and the radixes are on the move.
