Surprise on the Porch

Beau March 25th, 2008

There are always surprises in spring.  You wouldn’t expect one of them to be a snake in the house!  The Mrs. was working around the porch where we keep our plants, and bring them inside in the fall to protect them during winter.  It seems one of these plant containers served as a nice little home for a Ring-necked Snake.  She noticed something near the carpet and thought it was a toy left out… but then it started moving!  These are harmless little guys, and quite docile- probably a Prairie Ring-necked Snake.  Of course it doesn’t generate near the excitement of the six foot Black snake I saw last year!  This week we’ll release it outside to find a new home.

Someone enjoys giving the cats a lot of attention, and that’s okay with Princess.
