Broad-Banded Copperhead(There are 4 different kinds of Copperheads in Texas)
We had a bit of excitement this morning. I was outside feeding the animals when I decided to water the plants. I asked Michael to turn the water tap on for me and as he reached over into the flowerbed to do it I saw this little beauty slither away from him...I am so thankful it slithered away from him! After putting Michael up on the bench on the porch I went and grabbed my camera, snake boots, and shovel...You know me I had to get a photo of it first and then take care of it...Michael was so good about staying on the bench! When I finally got the snake out on to the sidewalk he was like "WOW mom, it's huge"....I left it on the sidewalk (it wasn't going anywhere) while I finished watering...and Michael kept yelling at me from the bench it's moving...lol...I told him that Mommy broke the snake and he could only move his head...I hope and pray that I have taught him to stay away from snakes and to come get Momma if he should see one....I tell him which ones are good and bad but don't think he's old enough to recognize them yet!! Well off to finish my morning chores...now to go check the Hog trap...yes we have another Hog on the property and have re-set the trap....

Pity you cannot not set a Copperhead trap! What do you do with the hogs once "you" -not pp- catch them? What a story about the snake *shivers running down my spine* trust you to tell it "say cheese - now die"!! Dag! I so hope Michael is paying way close attention to his way smart Mum!
