No, not Nancy Pelosi.  Literally….a snake.  The Mr said it was a black racer.  I don’t care if it’s a purple polka dotted fruit fly eating snake…..it’s a SNAKE!

That’s as close as I was getting to the sucker.  Fast little bugger too.

    What can I say….the man likes creepy crawly things. He married me, didn’t he? Heh. I wouldn’t let him pick it up. Blech!

    They are harmless, They are constricters, ie nonpoisonus. They feed on field mice and other vermin. They feel like fine leather when picked up.

    Women and snakes don’t mix! :)

    I beg to differ. My little sis had a beautiful boa, and if not for the opposition of hubbie, and the fact that we have four cats, I would likely have one too.

    Thank you Cliff :)

    @ Fred – with all due respect, they don’t all need to be shot – I have .38 shotshells at the ready for rattlers. I know the difference.

    Yes Chris, but YOU are a strange woman….and obviously have a strange sister. LMAO
