That first picture sure is a handful of snake. <br /><br />I agree, more men seem to be afraid of snakes than women. We have ringneck snakes that have babies every year in a cabin of ours. They don't bite either and don't get very big. We pick them up and put them outdoors but I know people who kill them. I don't get that at all.kpannabecker and jpannabeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18314108316558936642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9090907568893124937.post-28616178852802588122011-03-31T07:10:58.723-07:002011-03-31T07:10:58.723-07:00Lol, Robin.

That's funny, because over the years I've found that guys are more likely to be freaked out by snakes than girls are. :)<br /><br />This particular type of snake is really very cool. They're pretty slow moving, don't bite, and their scales are so small that their skin is almost squeaky. It's pretty neat.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02769150016495656772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9090907568893124937.post-13715954895755738962011-03-31T00:19:18.950-07:002011-03-31T00:19:18.950-07:00Okay so I am grossing out getting the willies just...Okay so I am grossing out getting the willies just looking at that snake hand picture while my husband is going on about how awesome that picture is. :ORobinhttp://farmfolly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9090907568893124937.post-38178460248780130172011-03-12T18:53:07.839-08:002011-03-12T18:53:07.839-08:00I'm pretty sure that late winter/early spring ...I'm pretty sure that late winter/early spring is when these boas breed, though I'd have to look it up to be certain. That's probably why they are out in such numbers. I'd never seen one in Oregon until last fall, on a different part of the property (nearly ran it over with the lawn mower). I found them occasionally in the mountains in CA. The cat I had at the time used to catch them and bring them in the house (along with scorpions). Seeing as he liked to leave that sort of gift by the bed, I was always careful to look before I got up. Lol. Remind me, next time I see you, to tell you about Churchee and the scorpion in the bathroom. That cat was crazy.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02769150016495656772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9090907568893124937.post-71387100893522832042011-03-12T18:32:01.288-08:002011-03-12T18:32:01.288-08:00Wow is that a handful of snake!

I don't see him so much now that I have the bark down, but he used to be a real snake in the grass.<br /><br />I think your rubber boas are pretty cool, and now if I see one I'll know what it is. I'm hoping the garter snake is still out there. It does seem weird that your snakes are out so early, but I heard a frog yesterday or the day before, so who knows? Maybe it's all attributable to global warming...Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16171802310115844104noreply@blogger.com
