Entered retail store through shipping bay and has been feasting on crickets. Thought it was a wren from far away, generally stays low and likes to hide. 3-4 others in store but may be different species and occupying different areas

(The smaller, orange snake.) My mom texted me a photo of two snakes she found hanging out together while she was watering plants. ~3.5 hours later, they were still in the same area and I took some more photos. Sometimes the larger snake would move away a foot or two, and eventually the smaller one would slither over to it again. (There's another post for the other snake)

(Larger, darker snake) My mom texted me a photo of two snakes she found hanging out together while she was watering plants. ~3.5 hours later, they were still in the same area and I took some more photos. Sometimes the larger snake would move away a foot or two, and eventually the smaller one would slither over to it again. (will create a duplicate post for the other snake)
