Snake season has arrived.
Wife & I saw two gopher snakes on a walk yesterday. Unfortunately they had gotten onto the road & didn't survive. On a walk today we spotted this rattle snake crossing a dirt road. It made a break for the side by the time my wife could get a picture.

I've relocated two blackies, and one corny already this month. They're cool, and I don't kill them, but I hate having them getting into the blue bird boxes. I put them in my absentee neighbor's yard, or on the Tobacco Trail where Cary animal control will likely get a call from a frightened suburbanite about a vicious snake on the loose.

"Workin' at the snake farm has it's charms. Nothin' to do in the winter, then some kid gets bit. At the snake farm. Paul Thorn is one of my wife's favorites. I can see her point.

I saw the title and expected it was a post from Hugh.

I was looking through some plastic bins in a rack in the garage where I keep various things. I moved one and heard a sort of scraping sound. Looked around & the scraping sound was coming from one of the bins with castors in it. On further investigation I could see a tail which moved when I disturbed the bin. I thought it was a lizard & took the bin outside and started removing the castors. What I discovered was a four foot long striped racer intertwined among the castors . They are really fast, and it wanted to go back into the garage. I had to do some running & jumping to herd it off to the side of the yard.

Make plenty of noise walking, wear your boots, carry a walking stick and a cell phone, just in case. The rivers and creeks around here are low and dry respectively, but still a good place to find a snake.
