While non-poisonous, this snake will readily strike at you, and it can bite with teeth like pins. While it is not poisonous, it can cause an infection if the bite of the teeth is not promptly treated with anti-biotic. This snake can move with lighting speed and usually just wants to zip away from you as fast as possible.

Yes this is the ugly little bugger! Only alot bigger!

Its body was FAT! Oh hell - I hope that wasn't a belly of babies!!!!

Oh what a horrible thought...You don't need any baby snakes around...Does Molly's nose still have the "L" mark, hope not...it really did look like she'd been branded...Poor baby.

Yup, I just got done looking at it...it looks the same. VERY clean, which is good. But yes, she is branded for sure.

I fell in love with my frogs in my Koi pond and I was damned if I was going to let that ugly snake get my frog!!! LOL Looking back, I can't beleive I did it either

But I saved him !!!!!

Oh my goodness, so glad to hear that she is ok! One of our Bird Dogs got bit by a snake many years ago and she was very old at the time that it happened. We just knew that she wouldn't make it (it was a Rattlesnake - VERY bad here in Texas) but thank goodness we rushed her to the vet in time and they saved her!

I had a cocker spaniel who was bitten by what the vet said was some kind of pit viper- probably a copperhead or rattlesnake. The vet told me the bites were not fatal for dogs. My cocker was fine except for necrosis at the bite site (his lip). He had a pretty big scar for life though.

That must have hurt!

What's funny is she is totally ALL TOM BOY. We laugh at her all the time as she is constantly into something. She's always been the brut. I think she could deff hang with Jack and Eddie and maybe even tackel a moose or two for them!

Now I know yorkies are much smaller and I myself have 2 yorkies (one teapot and one small), so I don't want to take any chance on a snake bite.

Just telling you what I have heard and been told. Again not positive about it.

Also to keep snakes away. You may try putting moth balls on the perimeter
0f your yard.

The lady that lives down the road from me took her Yorkie to the park to play & it was bitten by a snake & died.
