Today, June 4, 2010, while checking my garden this snake caught the corner of my eye. It is a beautiful snake with stripes on it's back. This is the third snake Ive found since Mid May, 2010 and all three have been different snakes. The first snake I found was dying because I think my dog attacked it either to play with the snake or to protect us. The second snake was a baby snake I found dead with a piece of pine straw in it's mouth. That very same day I put some ant killer granules on a huge ant hill which was located near a pile of leaves mixed with branches and straw so I am not sure if the baby snake was in the pile near the ant bed and ingested the ant killer granules. There was a small slice on the baby snake's skin otherwise no visible injuries. I'll post a video on the baby snake. Lastly, the third snake did coil and lift his head as though to strike at me but never did. The snake did have kind round eyes and I think the snake sensed I was not going to harm him/her. Towards the end of my video shoot, I think the snake was showing off for the camera :) It was my desire to film the snake a bit longer, however, yellow flies were biting me everywhere on my body so I had to go inside. If you look at the snake's body you will see yellow flies biting the snake. In all my years living in the south I have never seen the yellow flies this bad. .Thank you for watching my video Feel free to comment and any information about this snake is greatly appreciated :) Video footage ...
