You moved it? “Carefully”? What possessed you to move it? How fast were you going when you left?
Considering he was a three foot baby and I have a long stick while hiking and he was crawling up to my leg and over my boot is what posssessed me to move it.
I’d stopped to take in the view and Mr. Snake decided he was going to check out me.
Felt something go over my boot.
After calmly assessing the situation I convinced Mr. Snake that the end of my stick was a good thing to crawl over.
He was rather remarkably undisturbed by the whole thing.
Never buzzed his tail once.
He seemed, instead, to be enjoying the activity.
AFTER I moved him I fled the area as fast as my booted feet could carry me.
