This guy showed up on our back porch. A right angle snake!
Our male dachshund, Ruben was barking and in full alert mode. Fortunately the snake just wanted to get away, so it went up the wall. We locked the dogs out of the back yard, and the snake was gone an hour later. I try very hard to keep the mouse population at zero. Reuben does help with that. He got a bunny earlier this spring. He chases off all the polar bears, giraffes, buffalo, and alligators as well. I have not seen a polar bear around here since we got Reuben.
He really likes mice.
