Yikes! A snake! :eek: I was outside. Around our pool we have 2 large planting areas with palm trees and vines. It's very tropical and jungle looking. I was pulling out trying to thin some of the vines because they will just take over. I looked right next to where I was standing and there was a 4 foot long snake! Aaaaah! I kept screaming and ran into my house as fast as I can. My children were laughing at me. My puppy rubbed against my ankle and I screamed again! Now I have the creeps about going outside by the pool. I'm worried about letting our puppy outside. |
snakes are sooo cool! i don't think i'd be too happy about seeing a 4 ft. long one right next to me though!! i am so glad you made it out alive, i bet the snake was ready to kill!!!! ;) just kidding! that must have been scary! |
We used to have tons of those black snakes in our yard when we lived in Florida, but my ex hubby would never kill them bc he said they killed the bad snakes! I knew he was right, but to me "a snake is a snake is a snake!" I don't like any of them! |
you are right about the black snakes.. they keep the rats under control and i learned growing up in WVa that they keep the copper heads aways too. scares you when you come face to face with one when you are not expecting it. it is kind of funny but where ever i have seen a snake, in my mind it is always there. makes me avoid that spot for ever. lol |
I also grew up in Florida, I learned early on that you NEVER EVER kill a non poisonious snakes, especially King Snakes. For years a HUGE king snake lived under my play house and sunned on my playhouse steps. I like snakes, but living in the country, I am always on the watch ..... I have this fear of one of my babies becoming a snake snack!!!! Now adays, snakes who venture too close to the house are redirected towards the barn where they can get a mouse flavored snake snack. |
YUCK! I run from them too! Once, I chased a copperhead with a weed eater! |
