It was a lovely day for snakes at Cherokee park! It hit seventy- a perfect temperature for snakes to bask in the sun. :) This guy was happily relaxing and didn't seem to mind the sound of nosy little boys! We think he's either a worm snake or an earth snake (non-venomous)
THIS guy is harder to see- the kids scared him away before I could get a good picture. You can see his head poking up in the first picture, and his body in the second. We are pretty sure he was a northern water snake.
Look Closely for the snake shape!
Later, I think it was this same snake that Eldon startled on a nearby rock. He didn't see it until it started slithering away- and then he FELT its tail TOUCH HIS ANKLE! Needless to say he LOST HIS MIND with screaming for a bit (I would have done the same thing!)
