snake update

I looked around the net and I think I found the snake Linda picked up and brought into my house! This is what the site had to say, "it is a yellow ring neck. Ring necks are nocturnal and it is a rare treat to see one during the day. They prefer damp areas hiding under loose rocks or dead trees. They grow up to 15 inches in length. Feeding primarily on small salamanders, lizards, and frogs, as well as earthworms and juvenile snakes of other species. They use partial constriction when subduing prey Although they fall into the category of being venomous, they pose no threat to humans and can be safely handled and are commonly seen in the pet trade. It is rare for them to bite, and if picked up they secrete from the corners of the mouth foul smelling saliva. Lifespan in cavity is roughly 6 years and over 10 years in the wild." and here is a link to the picture, if you dare, lol. http://www.pcs.k12.va.us/vtrail/Z-9.jpg The one Linda had was not as big as the one in the pic.

Linda had a Thanksgiving pot luck playgroup today. There was food involved, so of course she enjoyed that immensely. It was quite cold here today, but we managed to get outside and burn off some energy. I'm hoping the sun will make an appearance tomorrow.
