There are all sorts of critters out here, though we don't see too many snakes.
The dogs found this big girl before we did, isn't she beautiful?
She's huge: several feet long, and fat as everything. She was found out lounging in the pasture, too sluggish to move for a while. I'm voting that she's either a very large corn-snake, or a king-snake. I'm not positive on which one is correct.
After Mom snapped a few pictures, I went back out to get some others.
The bulldogs were very wary of the snake, (apparently having not inherited their father's fierce snake-killing skills!) but Arwen was very interested, and absolutely dying to get a hold of it.
We called them in before she could buck-up and try though.
The snake is gone now, back off into the woods no doubt!
