NOT cool.... not cool at all


My Hubby has assured me several times "I have NEVER seen a snake out here." Today, he was proven wrong. Unfortunately, I was the one who almost stepped on this bullsnake's head before realizing he was lying across the sidewalk! And yes, I did scream like a little girl and jump about 4 feet high! I am not really all that fond of snakes, but I can deal with them, if they are small and don't bite. This beast was about 4 feet long. YUCK. I made the Hubby take him a mile away and relocate him. Kind of creepy though, because he was close to the house, and don't really know where he came from. Now I am paranoid and find myself staring constantly at the ground. I will say it again. YUCK.

Oh, my God. I have to reiterate your comment YUCK. What else can you say about this ginormous thing. I hope that is the last one you see. How did Hubby get it and relocate it and did he point it in the direction opposite the house? I couldn't do it. Good luck with this lady.

i guess at least it was a diamond back... i'm pretty surprised the hubby had never seen one there, because on our farm 40 minutes away we ALWAYS saw them.... rattlers, bullsnakes, gardners.... icky icky icky. That's one reason i do like about living here.. no poisonous ones (at least they don't think there are any...) YUCK.
