While I don't have the pictures yet I wanted to share this creepy story. Yesterday my hubby saw a snake sitting in the rafters of our carport that is attached to our shed. He just uses it to store his work stuff so I don't have to go back there. It was a little 3ft snake, according to his estimates. I was curious, but not overly curious. Hubby's trailer was also parked under there so I either had to get super close, or on the other side of the trailer. I opted for the further part, not knowing the snakes intent. Hubby said it looked like he/she had just had dinner. I would assume that meant a bump in it belly.
I got out the digital camera and snapped a few shaky shots. One turned out and you can even see the reflection of it's eyes! I couldn't even see it's eyes from my vantage point. My son was very excited about that point but didn't want to get super close either.
So today I went out there and again the snake is up there. I had checked earlier and didn't see it, so I either missed it or the snake now has a great hideway from the daily rains we've been having. I was a little creeped out by the whole thing, but I'd rather know where the snakes are than not see them at all. We seen at least 4 different kinds in our yard, that's one reason we quit trying to explore our overgrown acerage.
So I quit watching the snakes and enjoyed a nice display from the green anole lizards who were lunching on a bunch of ants crawling all over the carport. They are fun to watch in comparison with the snake, who didn't move at all.
So now I'm off to research the internet to see if I can determine what kind of snake it actually is. I'll post pictures when I get them uploaded. In the meantime I'm not going outside with shoes anymore. |
