Hissy Fit

Another snakes-are-here phase has begun. I was unable to get pictures of the last couple of snakes. Yesterday, I caught a beautiful Coachwhip(Red Racer)...but I couldn't get him untangled from the bicycle spokes. So, I let go of it...and it vanished. They are so quick. Immediately afterward, I found this California Kingsnake out near the chicken coop. So, this could be the start of another high-activity/high occurrence period. I'm not surprised.
This Kingsnake was very docile. The chickens didn't want to get near it. It was about 28 inches in length. I saw one last week that was over 48 inches long. I didn't catch it...it was also in the chicken coop.
So, stay cognizant of the possibility...
Snakes are everywhere!
