I found this Red-bellied Snake under the bark of a large rotting log. I had just spent nearly two hours in a couple of different habitats not having luck with anything and was getting tired, so I stopped when I came to a woodland clearing to catch my breath and figure out what to do next. I stopped near this large rotting log and eventually gave it a little kick to see how heavy it was, if it was solid, etc. I noticed all the bark was loose so I lifted a piece up to see what might be underneath and that's when I found this snake. I started wondering if the snake was even alive because it didn't move at all, not even flick its tongue, or show any signs of life as I moved around taking photos from different angles. It also looked strangely flat, almost like roadkill, so I touched it to see if it was alive and it indeed was! It quickly slithered off underneath the log and I left it at that.
