Snakes.....

I opened my outside basement door in June and there was a snake convention going on up and down the concrete stairs.  I couldn't get a good count but there were a lot of them.  With the dog's pooper scooper I caught one and carried it out to the trash can. It was a very big one.  I came back thinking I would not get any more.  I was wrong as five captured snakes later they were all headed to the landfill.  I recently  caught two more of them around the back door.  There are more of them out there but they seem to be hibernating already.

As I was late posting this, I caught another one this evening while I was out grilling burgers.  Never fear, I have seen the little small ones in the grass from this springs new birthing so I won't run out of snakes.
