Beautiful, isn't it?!
Does anyone know what kind of snake this is?At first we thought it was a Copperhead, but Caleb read that young Copperheads have a yellow tip at the end of their tails.
The boys found it on the side of the house, (yesterday) and Matt took care of it for us ;-)
(he used the pick axe, then he buried it in a ant mound :-) )
--------------------
ETA: We are pretty sure that our snake was just an Oak Snake (which is another name for the Grey Rat Snake) so we killed a
non-venomous snake :-(.
But hey, we would rather be safe than sorry! ;-)
