Ever since we've moved here, we have been finding snake skins in the backyard. But until this summer, we had never seen any live ones. Yesterday, Jeff killed his second snake, but we aren't sure that that was the last. This morning he found a small snake outside in the front yard and the girls loved looking at it. Annlee thought it was pretty neat how it would "hug" her finger (with Daddy holding the head, of course).
We've heard that these are good snakes to have around. Those big black ones apparently eat some of the thousands of frogs that are constantly around (I have a small idea of what the Egyptians must have felt when God sent the plague of frogs!) Therefore, we haven't been too aggressive in trying to get rid of them, but we do kill the ones that we see out in the open.
Notice the frog practically sitting on this snake! Guess he hasn't learned the art of frog killing yet.
