The first thing I thought of when I saw "a friend" was a snake! Don't ask me why! I suppose deer, turkeys, opossums and raccoons would not rate as "a friend".
just might be...they are protected in some parts of the land.Is that an Indigo snake? Did you get his name? Last night all I had here was a bobcat, looking at the tracks. Glad she's doing ok. And leaves my chickens alone although Scrambles the Wonder Chicken now growls at me a LOT.
ha ha, Truth nice post! Part of digging in Louisiana (and Savannah) is playing with the wildlife. That one looks like a whip snake or a black racer.
Great job with the snake. They get a bad rep, but are so beneficial to have around. The average person wants to kill a snake, but you took good care of him. Bravo.(My brothers and I spent most of our summers catching snakes and keeping them as pets to be released at the end of the summer.)
Keep swingin and caring.
Another great thing about Alaska, NO SNAKES!!
Black Bears and Grizzlies aren’t to friendly I hear lol
No snakes in Alaska? How about ticks?
