Last night Maris found an itsy bitsy teeny tiny baby rat snake in our backyard.
It was up by our back porch.
This is not the snake.
I was a little too freaked out to take a picture.
I made him squish it and throw it over the fence.
After he threw it, I thought, I should've taken a picture.
I'm not too scared of a baby rat snake.

What does worry me is that where there is one baby there are probably lots of babies.
And a momma.
yewwwwwww. gross.
look for this here: ,

Omigosh. Spiders and snakes are the worst. And I really have to stop reading up on them as a "highlighted" animal for Leah's school-time. I mean, sometimes you just have to put your foot down and forbid the study of something from National Geographic because it borders on too much information!

i'm suprised you didn't let your boys keep it :D it would go great with your collection of the worlds scariest pets :D

If you can please keep the reptiles and rodents in your backyard that would be much appreciated. Tell Maris that he's in charge of protecting my sanity - if he lets a snake through and it comes up the hill to my house ... well, we don't want to go there.

Can you spray for snakes?

The A Team,  July 29, 2008 at 3:41 PM  

on the bright side: with a rat snake around, at least you won't have mice...right?

"I am one of [Jesus Christ's] witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God's Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."--Bruce R. McConkie, "The Purifying Power of Gethsemane"

"...we must be careful, as we seek to become more and more godlike, that we do not become discouraged and lose hope. Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible. The scriptures record remarkable accounts of men whose lives changed dramatically, in an instant... But we must be cautious as we discuss these remarkable examples. Though they are real and powerful, they are the exception more than the rule. For every Paul, for every Enos, and for every King Lamoni, there are hundreds and thousands of people who find the process of repentance much more subtle, much more imperceptible. Day by day they move closer to the Lord, little realizing they are building a godlike life. They live quiet lives of goodness, service, and commitment. They are like the Lamanites, who the Lord said "were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and theyknew it not." (3 Ne. 9:20; italics added.)"--Ezra Taft Benson, "A Mighty Changeof Heart"
