I have had two snakes (that I’ve seen) in my backyard for as long as I’ve owned my house. For the most part, they can do whatever they want back there and I don’t care. I usually only see them when I’m cutting the grass and they quickly slide away. Today, the grass was a little taller and I didn’t see one of them and I think I killed him. I feel pretty bad about this.

I have to say it’s a lot bigger than the last time I saw it. This was the first snake that I saw and it scared the beejesus out of me the first time I saw it. After that, I sort of expected to see him. The other one looked pretty much the same, but was more of an orange color than yellow. I haven’t seen that one in a long time.

This will probably make my niece Abby happy, since she always slowly walked out of my garage, while looking for snakes after I showed her the picture of them a few years ago.

UPDATE: I checked about seven hours later and the snake is still there. It’s dead.
