Snake

 Daddy has a snake for us to identify.

 Mommy tried to get a good picture of his head.


 We thinks Daddy is very brave to hold him.

 Mommy thinks this is a Speckled King Snake or what Grandpa calls a Salt & Pepper Snake.

Daddy is showing us the tip of his tail. What kind of snake do you think he is?

You're right thats a pepper&salt snake - your daddy is a brave guy! I hope I will find my mom - she stampeded screaming away as she saw your snake. Have a great weekend!

I agree with your grandpa. He looks like a salt and pepper king snake. Did the kitties get to take a look at him?

I've had a few baby garter snakes show up in my apartment living room over the years. My cats were quite interested, but I rescued the baby snakes :)

We like to find snakes but we don't know their names. Mom says she is glad it is not here in our yard. Did you see the story on the news today of the lady who found a snake in her bag of potatoes?

Oh MY! I wish I could tell you but while I love seeing him and wish I could bite him, mom doesn't feel the same.

We have a lot of little garden snakes here in PA. Nothing fun like that one. He does not bite I hope!

We are pretty sure that is a beautiful king snake. They are nice to keep around they eat pests that we peeps don't like hanging around. Your dad is like ours only our dad don't even bother to put on gloves...makes Mumsy sooooo nervous when he picks up snakes by the tip of their tails. Hugs and nose kisses
