(Memphis) A family walking in Martyrs Park in downtown Memphis spotted two snakes hanging in a tree.

The park is not far from the Channel 3 Studio on the South Bluffs.

We’re told the snakes were near the memorial statue at the park. Jean Smith, who took the pictures, says she ran –fast- after almost walking into the dangling reptiles.

It’s mating season for a lot of critters in the animal kingdom, so be careful out there!
