while doing some yard work today we found a snake skin of the snake we found two or three weeks ago living under our porch.
A while latter while filling in the pit near our porch with dirt we found the snake again .
there are some photos of him and his skin on our blog if any of you or your children want to see.
Little boys tend to like this sort of thing
just a thought Sunshine
have a lovely day and may God bless you and keep you safe

We've actually got one, we named him buddy. He is a little bull snake that my stepdad saved from some bums in the alley behind his building. They were throwing rocks at it calling it a rattle snake and stuff, Don't know what the little guy was doing in the middle of downtown Spokane, but my stepdad just marched in there and picked it up and put it in a bucket. He didn't know what to do with it, so after a few days of trying to feed him moths he brought it to my husband who has always had hermit crabs or turantulas or whatever, and we ended up adopting it.
We lived in town at the time we got him and couldn't think of a great place to let him go, and then by the time we moved to the country the first time he was so domesticated that we didn't think he should be left on his own to starve.....
So now we are stuck with this silly little buddy snake for the next however many years... the girls think he is pretty neat, but they don't get to touch him because they are so little and clumsy that we don't want them to hurt him.. Funny thing, when we were trying to sell our house, there were a significant amount of folks who wouldn't go into the room we had him in because they were so scared of a harmless little bull snake behind glass and under a lid.
you can be oh so smart, or you can be oh so positive. I wasted a lot of time being smart I prefer being positive. |

I am glad so many little kids and a few adults are having fun with this snake. Not all snakes are scary but some sure are. This isn't one of them.
have a lovely day and may God bless you and keep you safe

Sunshine - yep - my little guy thought it was more than neat. He first named it "Jake the Snake," like every other snake he's ever seen, then he headed right outside to look under all of our lilac bushes to see if he could find one himself. Boys!!!!!
XOXO, Libbie

We used to catch garter snakes all the time when I was a kid. I love the way they seem to smile.
