Where the Irritable Yellowbelly Water Snake lived
Joyce asked where our creepy visitor came from on Friday. You can read my post here.
This is the view from our front yard. It is definitely safe to say that the skunk-scented, very-irritable Yellowbelly Water Snake came from this body of water.
I think it is also safe to say - that was one stupid snake!! The information found regarding the habits and habitats of that species state that Yellowbelly Water Snakes are often found in yards, garages and other cool dark places when they attempt to find new water sources, especially if the yard is watered on a regular basis. Regular watering also attracts frogs and toads, which are a favored food item for these snakes.
Duh!! There is a LARGE body of water 100 feet away from my garage!

So, do you suppose the snake's den got covered in all the rain, and he was looking for a new home?? or being spring, looking for a mate??
I have NO idea. I guess he was looking for a nice place to digest that frog. LOL.
I hope no other snakes show up. I don't like ANY of them.
ah, yes! a frog chaser.
I hate snakes. But, don't tell my boys. My mom made the mistake of showing a fear of snakes in front of my boys---and every time they got their hands on a fake snake---they knew who to make scream. never show fear in front of your sons!
