Devo was on his way to check the mail and this is what was in his path soaking up the sun in the front yard. A little startling at first. We saw a few baby garter snakes last year but not nearly as big as this one. It was about 3 ft long. After about an hour of watching it Devo finally scooped it up in a shovel and put it in the field behind the house. The snake actually hissed at the kids when Devo started bothering it and mom made them back away. After searching the internet we have decided it was a gopher snake.
Of course Jake was in heaven. (I was surprised he didn't ask to keep it for a pet, maybe because it's a lot bigger than the ones at Petsmart)
