Sarajevo... You have just given me the creeps beyond BELIEF! I am serious when I tell you that my stomach just dropped and I got bumps all over me. What kind of snake is that? Is it poisonous (in my case, it wouldn’t matter because they would find me dead in the chicken coop). Does it eat the chickens? The eggs? Chicken AND eggs?!!! If that is you holding that thing.... you are a brave soul.

Yep, that's me holding it. It's a common non-poisonous garden snake. It goes after eggs and chicks if there are any. Mostly, they take care of rodents and lizards.

Can you believe it! The Mrs let me bring it into the house for a picture! Of course, she promptly threw me out when the camera shuter clicked!

"afraidfortherepublic", have no fear! Everything is bigger in Texas. The ones you all have in the northern climates are smaller (I think.....) Personally,I'd rather handle the snake than the skunk my neighbors daughter caught yesterday. I ended up smelling like skunk from a couple indirect sprays.........Ugh!
