Yesterday was my day for eldercare with my friend, Lynne.
We were sitting in her backyard on her swing for two.
She was snoozing and I was fiddling on my phone.
Something caught my eye and I looked up.
There was this snake slithering about a foot from our feet.
He looked up at me and shook his tail like a rattler would do.
Then he moved a bit away from us and started to coil.
I knew it wasn't a rattle snake but it was a bit unnerving.
He continued to move on under her patio table.
I decided to wake Lynne up and go back inside.
Later when I looked out the window, he was gone..
Sigh
I just don't like these guys, even when I know they aren't poisonous and are good for nature.
I believe this is a California King Snake.
Creepy....

I imagine that was unnerving. Because of a son of mine who had snakes as a teenage who lived in the house (in cages) I got use to them. California King was my favorite. He use to bring him into my bedroom and put him on my bed. I learned to just let him slither around. I became fond of him. His name was "Ice Man" after Cnuck LIddell famous MMA fighter and my son was a fan of him. So Ice Man would visit me often, lol
I hate snakes. Period!!!
EeeeeeeEeeeeeEEK!
Not a Fan of them !!!!
Yikes! Good dicision to take Lynn inside and you too. I do not like snakes!!!
Screaming and running. No, make hat running first. You really kept your cool!
Oh wow. I think I would have lost it and gone running and screaming down the road.
Good choice to move indoors. I would have done the same.
Oh my, I don't do snakes. We use something called Liquid Fence granulated repellent. We put it around our property line each spring.
