Snakes

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!)
