Donna's Snake

This afternoon, I was working on my computer when a neighbor, Donna, called Marcia and told her that she had a snake on her porch and could I take care of it. Well, I did. The snake is a black snake. They are good snakes. I believe we have one that lives under our shed. (our snake) We have seen him/ her a couple of times. Well, I took Donna's snake and released him/her at the edge of the village in the bamboo woods. It appeared that she/he had eaten recently. There were two bulges in his/her midsection.

Our Snake is Back

 We had a black snake show up on our carport last year about this time of the year. Today, as I was going to the shed, there he was in the tree. Enjoy the pictures. Click on the picture to make larger.

Our Snake

This is our black snake. We have seen him other times (or one of his cousins). Today, he was right outside the side door on the carport.  I gathered him up and put him across the fence. Marcia doesn't like having snakes around the house.  He stretched out and slithered away. He was about 3.5 to 4 feet long.

Later in the day, I found this snake on the carport. Different snake? Don't know. Probably. However, this is not comforting to Marcia.

Snake 2?

About 4 ft long.

I attempted to pick him up and take him to the field, but he got away and slithered under the steps to safety.
