If everybody's first experience with snakes was with these little babies, snakes wouldn't get such a bad rap I think. :)Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393082652312828458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-60583869328819614582016-04-21T19:46:26.711-05:002016-04-21T19:46:26.711-05:00I couldn't believe my eyes just now.

It was a cute little brown garter/garden snake very slowly moving across the sidewalk! He was no bigger than one of those great big earthworms that come out when it rains. In fact, he was so small that I thought maybe he was a big worm, but as he came to the grass along the sidewalk, he lifted his little head up and looked around. Then he disappeared into the grass. I'm going to have to watch where I walk. I wouldn't want to step on him/her. susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-90006910381750423022016-04-21T17:26:15.503-05:002016-04-21T17:26:15.503-05:00Those little snakes really are adorable in a snake...Those little snakes really are adorable in a snake-y sort of way. I am continuously looking for snakes now when I'm out in the yard. I think they add a lot to our gardens, and I have read that the little snakes we have around here like to eat slugs. These cute little "decorative" snakes are a lot better than the slimy slugs who eat holes in the leaves of some of my favorite plants.<br /><br />Good luck attracting more snakes to your garden and yard. susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-9989726618562175282016-04-21T15:03:09.715-05:002016-04-21T15:03:09.715-05:00Loree: That's progress!

One of my favorite memories (in the ornery big sis sort of way)is my 6'3" sister trying to crab backwards up the rear of her SUV to get away from a hatchling ring neck... who was so tiny I had to slide a paper under him to move his little killer self to the woods behind her house. <br /><br />A thought: ask your clients if they would like to take part of your exclusive "snake relocation program". ;-) Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03032627674570787885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-27361272159569360452016-04-21T07:00:06.496-05:002016-04-21T07:00:06.496-05:00An extra note: reading more I see that these are p...An extra note: reading more I see that these are probably yearlings, hatched late last summer.
