I don’t know if this is the same snake that was the garden earlier this year or a different one. Either way, this one is about 3x larger than the first. I was able to find it because Toby tried to stick it up his nose.
This was the baby that came to visit in the spring.
Geordie was petrified of snakes and wouldn’t go near them. At least I didn’t have to worry about him being bitten.
Real Life Me is a badass.

We hate snakes too. I didn’t know they fart. I guess they have some redeeming qualities
YES THEY DO.. THEY EAT DITY BUGS LIKE MOSQUITOES !
THEY ARE GOODIES UNLIKE THE COPPERHEADS WE GET AND I DREAD !
Toby thinks that anything that farts is worth having around.
I ALWAYS SIGH WITH RELEIF WHEN I SEE ON OF THESE. THEY ARE THE GOOD GUYS. THEY EAR MOSQUITOA AND BUGS AND ARE PRETTY AND HARMLESS.
ITS THE COPPERHEADS I DREAD
HUGSSS
I kind of wish they ate garden bunnies.
Egads, Toby! Stay away from that creepy slithery crawler! 😮
Is it a garter snake?!
Is it the baby snake grow-ed up?!
When human-bean males fart around Cooper and “explode” so loudly it scares Cooper. Ha! 😀
How are you feeling/doing these days?!
HUGS!!! 🙂
I’m not sure if it is the little snake grown up or not. I don’t know which disturbs me more – having two snakes around or knowing that a little one can grow so fast.
I taught Geordie to play dead if someone blew a raspberry/made a fart sound. Little kids thought that was the funnies thing ever.
HA! That IS very funny and very cute! 🙂 Geordie sounds like a gem! 🙂
Ewww ewww and ewwwwwwww! That is all
You forgot “ick”.
Ick ick ick ick
is that better?
I feel better.
phew! I was worried about you for a minute!
Dear Diary,
To day I learned that the shortheaded garter snake has anal glands. I didn’t even know that a snake had a butt. However, I always upvote fart posts.
Not knowing that snakes have butts? Now that’s something that can come back to bite you in the cloaca.
