Floods and Snakes!

I know I know I don't update enough...get over it.

So the last few months it has rained and rained and rained. And with the rain comes floods and snakes. The park behind my house always floods when it rains a lot. And when it floods snakes come out of the park and into my backyard for rescue. Lexie, my dog, is always quick to alert us of the snakes presence. She really doesn't like them and goes berserk when they are in the yard. Is that a park? It looks like a lake! I didn't know I had a lake house.

The 1st snake of the summer was a Texas Rat Snake(non-poisonous). This is not my picture I didn't get a good one cause it was too fast, but this is what it looked like.

The 2nd snake was a Yellow-Bellied Water Snake(non-poisonous). Here it is on the side walk in the backyard. This one stayed around a long time and even crawled into the dogs bed for a while.

This was the 3rd snake and the 1st scary one. It is a Copperhead(poisonous). It didn't stay long luckily and went right through the yard.

This was the most recent one another Copperhead Yikes! It also left quickly just passing through the yard.

Hopefully that was the last one since its now getting cold maybe they'll all go into hibernation.
