Finally, I found it! Past bedtime, but googled animal rescue in Appalachia, and this one comment was the only search result. Dang. Popular post, Snake Man! So many comments to scroll through. I love snakes. Years ago I feared our two collies were killing one. I captured it and took it to a nature center. They laughed. Nope, not guts spilling out from a dog bite... those are BABIES. And they said to take mama snake home and put her back where I found her. Eep! She was hissing and striking at me from the bottom of the bucket, but I took her home. And did NOT put her back in the front yard, but on the other side of the fence so my dogs wouldn't pester her again. To this day, I see great big fox snakes and wonder if they're her babies, all grown up now...
