Travels

When the Urban King Project came out on 5/13, they started trying to find Lagartha from where she was last found. She had traveled (presumably) up the creek across my back yard, and to the front of the house that is behind mine. My rough estimate of the distance from her new location to today's was about 500 feet. I've had to increase the area in my map to cover how far she went. I hadn't initially expected her to go much father than my immediate neighbors' yards. On Thursday the 14th, the Project started tracking on the street behind me rather than from my yard. It was a good thing, because she traveled 3 yards further away from me. She was in the front yard and was again underground. 1 is where she was on the 12th. 2  is where she went on the next street over, about 500' away.  3  is her location on the 14th. I'm going to have to go over to the other street to see where she turns up next time they come out.

Relocating

On Sunday May 10, Urban King Snake Project came out to track Lagartha for the first time. It took them about 30 minutes, but they found her in our next door neighbor's back yard. She was hiding under some ivy, and once we knew she was there, we could see her. On Monday May 11, she had moved to the same neighbor's front yard. Their property is right next to the same creek that is in our backyard, and Lagartha was near the house end of their driveway halfway down the hill into the creek. We couldn't see her, but the tracking chip led us to some rocks and we assumed she was under them. Her location on Tuesday May 12 wasn't far from her Monday location. She was further downstream right where the creek goes under one of our neighborhood streets. Once again, we couldn't see her, as it appeared she was underground. 1 Is Lagartha's release location. 2 is May 10, 3 is May 11 and 4 is May 12.
