Are you sure that she's throwing up because of the snake incident? Maybe it could be something else? |
I am not sure that she is throwing up becaue of the snake, but she rarely throws up and it did happen after the snake.....but it could have been anything because she is into EVERYTHING....
.....if there is something out there that she could get into she will.
It was definetly not a poisonous snake because the only poisonous snakes around here are pit vipers. The pupils on pit vipers are slits and they have pits on their faces between the eyes and nose, and their heads are diamond shaped and they have fangs. The snake I found had round pupils, and skinny head and no pits and it had teeth and not fangs. That is the reason I caught it to make sure it was not poisonous, for one I wanted to make sure so I would know if Hannah was in danger if she was bitten, and then I wanted to know if there were poisonous baby snakes in my back yard (which I have never seen a poisonous snake here in the 25 years I lived in this neighborhood).
I have never heard of a night snake, I don't think that we have those here, thank God, because we already have enough to worry about with copper heads, rattlesnakes, and cottonmouths......
