Well, there's a snake on the lose in our front hedge.
Just thought you'd like to know.
see that wee head? |
how about now? |
green.green.green. |
While someone ran off to find a snake slayer, this little guy disappeared into the hedge again.
But, not for long.
He (or his cousin-?! yeeps) reappeared on the other side of the hedge a couple minutes later.
see that long neck? |

yep. that's him. |
do you still see him? |
how does that go-- Speak Softly and Carry a Big Stick-??? |
I wanted to tell you that the snake is dead and all is right with the world...
but that would be a lie.
He escaped.
eeewww.
That's why I figured I better send out an alert.
PS- If they weren't so poisonous and, well, sneakily slithery and rather gross-- I might find snakes more interesting. I mean, this little guy is a pretty color...
And, actually, based on my quick googling just now and comparing photos of this guy and other snakes, I think he's just a bush snake and not poisonous.
.whew.
At least-- that sounds like a good thing to believe, right? :)
hummm....could possibly the stick be too big?
