This morning a termite guy came to our house to check for termites. He found no such beasts. Instead, he found two snakes by a hose in our front yard.
Of course I just had to catch them and take pictures because I think snakes are facinateing. The first snake was no problem, I just scooped him into the bucket.
It was about 8 inches long. The second snake however, was a differant story. It was the nicer looking snake of the two (they were differant kinds) and it was also a little faster. Of course you can't put the two snakes together, so I had my younger brother finde another container to
hold it in.
hold it in.
I tried once to catch the snake. Failed. Oh well, I will try again. Failed again. Then on the third try, I had it in my bucket. Half of it anyways. I thought that it was the same size as the other snake but it was a little over a foot long. It got away. No picture, no capture, nothing. Well, I thought to myself, I still have the other snake.
Or so I thought. I went back in the house and about two hours later I went out side to check on it and it had escaped. I thought it was gone for good but once again I was wrong. It was in the mum that was next to it's holding bucket.
I poked and prodded it with my paint stick and it kept on sliding away.
Then, When all hope was lost, I was able to knock it out of the plant and after chasing it all over my front porch I scooped it up once again. I took a few more pictures and then I left it in peace.
I bet it's tired.
