Big Mama Full Of Babies Maybe

She was in the same area of the creek where I had seen her mating so I do believe it is the same snake. She should be full of 30 to 40 baby snakes that will be born live in late summer/early fall. She didn't seem to mind my presence, when you are that size, not much scares you I guess. I thanked her and went on my way.
