Yikes!!

At least it is not venomous!! But a big snake like that darting out from behind something suddenly would scare the stuffing out of me!!

Well that's scary! Same thing happened to me last week, only it was a copperhead.

Good pic of a snake.

Great pic - how did you manage? Do you have camera ready all the time? :)

I have some gopher holes I would like to introduce that big feller to.

How did you get the pic that fast? I would be terrified, if I saw one that close.

I'm usually listening to a podcast as I tend the garden so the phone is on me. Also, the black racer darted out from under my plants to against the house, he was somewhat cornered with a mouth full of frog.
