I was helping an instructor set up a demo on the DIT range at Hurlburt and he told me, "Watch out for Joe. He lives under and in the target house. We leave him alone because he keeps the rats under control. " I asked what "Joe" was. "Oh, just your common black snake. Sure enough, Joe was coiled up under the back corner of the shed. Looked a lot like this guy.
When word got around about Joe's true identity, they called Jackson Guard to relocate him.
