Never know what will come out of a hole you dig!

[leslie(nova scotia)]

From the land of the Bluenose.....was on an island dig last summer in the pouring rain with French Dave when this rascal slithered out a hole. Not posionous but will give you a nip. Picked him up with my coil and threw him in the woods!

Leslie,

Thanks for saving the little beggar's life.
Some would have killed him for sure.

Kudos,
Thom

I would have brought it home and kept it for a pet

ewww my daughter kept bringing home snakes for pets until she had to feed one...then she dropped a lil feeder mouse in there.....freaked out and started crying, said she hated her snake for eating.....turned the snake loose and kept the other lil feeder mouse. Never brought home another snake although mice and rats and another dog came home after I told her no more pets. lol

I think snakes are amazing creatures....from a distance. I don't like them up close either. Great picture Les, Thanks for sharing. I have never seen that snake before less. What kind is it

Snakes, for whatever reason, don't bother or startle me much. We get black snakes, rat snakes, corn snakes, milk snales, one i've never seen before moving here called a ringed snake and the ubiquitous garters.

For some reason, maybe a Biblical plague, I kept running across these bad boys last summer. Parson Spiders (a kind of wolf spider/ground spider).

Seems like every time I move a tarp or worked in the garden they'd come out to play. You know a spider is big when you HEAR one moving before you spot it. Ugh.

My wife found one in her kayak with her. Now THAT I wish I'd have had on camera! But then the same thing happened to me later in the year and it was much less amusing. There ain't no "jumping" from a kayak cockpit.

I'm not bothered by snakes either, I like 'em really they are cute and unique.I've never had one as a pet but a lizard I have had.(2 actually)
Though we don't have many that can kill you here. only 1 poisonous snake is know to live in Sweden.

Everybody just be careful!
One of my good friends got in a John Boat one morning to go fishing with her hubby, instead of checking the boat first that had been tied and left in the water, she climbed in, sat down and put her foot right on a water moccasin, it bit her right on the back of her heel! She had to be rushed to the emergency room!
