Adventures of the Reptilian Kind


The other day when I was in my backyard I heard my two dogs begin to bark, so I went to see what all the "drama" was about. It was a corn snake also known as a red rat snake. After letting my dogs inside I began to observe the snake. I noticed it was friendly and began to lift it with a long stick (to see its reaction) after noticing its friendliness I called for my father. When he arrived he said I could pick it up, so I did. After holding it for a few minutes I let it go into the woods behind my house. This was a safe spot for the snake and made my mother happy as well. I hope I get to see many more corn snakes as I grow up! :^)
