このアオダイショウの幼蛇は、この写真を撮った前日に捕まえていた。その場でリリースしたのだが、また同じところに出てきていないかなと探していたら電柱に絡んだチューブの陰に潜んでいた。
I caught juvenile of this Japanese ratsnake on the day before when I took this photograph. I released him on the spot. When “he did not come out to the same place again”, I looked for him. He lay hidden behind the tube which coiled itself round the utility pole.

丸一日以上、ここに潜んでいたのね…。ごめんね。
Did you lay hidden in here more than full one day. I’m sorry.

これが前日の写真。
This is a photograph taken the day before.

人通りも多いところなので、出てこれなかったのかも。もう一度捕まえて、少し離れたところにリリースしました。
Because here was a place with much pedestrian traffic, was not he able to appear? I caught him once again and it was a little distant and released him.
