Called for relocation. The coordinates of this observation are for the location where the snakes were originally encountered. The larger snake was found wedged into a crevice between a concrete slab and a drainage pipe. The smaller snake was wedged into a concrete wall just a few feet away (photos 2 and 3).
Thank you Greg Pauly (NHM) for adding to this observation😀.
I thought this was mating behavior, turns out that these actually are males fighting!
