This is the first one I've seen on our property this year.
Andrew decided to take it for a little trip down the hill to the creek.
Isn't he pretty? But, I think I would have lost my cool if he wound himself around my hand like that. I don't like snakes! Since he wasn't poisonous we decided not to kill it, just transplant him to another location. I don't want him slithering into our building or blackberry patch. One year I reached my hand into the berry patch and a huge snake was laying on the middle board of our blackberry trellis. Boy, did I pull my hand back quick! I don't like those kind of surprises.
We let him go into this clump of flowers on the edge of the creek.
Have you seen any snakes this year?
