Hubby works as a security guard at a local hospital on graveyard shift 3 nights a week and on his rounds, he came across these two in places that he knew the next worker there would definitely kill them if she found them.

We figure this one to be a juvenile Brown snake. It has an old injury that seems to have healed well and not causing any serious problems.

This one had an attitude when picked up, according to hubby, but seemed mellow enough when I messed with it to take the photos. However, if looks could kill, I think the one in the first photo would have done me in for sure! We think it's a banded water snake. I love the side markings and coloration.

Oh, both of these will be released as soon as I get a chance to get them to a more appropriate habitat.

Aside from the white cheeking, the Brown Snake looks almost identical to the ones located here in NH. Both are great looking. Kudos on the rescue efforts!

Pretty. Were they found in the same location? Like behind the same box or something?

He found the banded water snake in the parking lot near the main entrance. The brown snake was inside in a store room/supply room. I was more distracted by the visual in my head when he described the woman who would be the likely one to find and kill the little brown snake...a very hefty and loud middle-aged black woman who is either a nurse, another security guard or on the janitorial staff, I'm not sure which. Hubby was more than sure the poor little snake wouldn't stand a chance as he, at 6'4" and 230 pounds stays out of her way when she's angry.
 
Cool looking snakes. I've never seen either of those species, before. We just don'thave them here. It's nice that they'll be going back to the wild, in a much safer and more appropriate place than they were found in!
