Say Hello To my Leetle Fren........

For the past week, during the afternoon thunderstorms, this little guy was coming in my shop.......under the garage door I didn't mind when he sat there until the storm was over and left. Yesterday he was being a pain in the ARSE, snapping at me, my dogs and crawling all over the shop. I had to step in and take control Sorry for not cleaning my trash can for the pics. He's only about 10" long so the dogs didn't take him seriously

I relocated him far, FAR away, out in the woods I don't mind snakes but not this kind, crawling around near my ankles

 

I THOUGHT it was a baby Pygmy rattler as they are very common around here. The pest control people would SWEAR it's a Pygmy I'm now pretty sure it's some kind of Racer. I thought I was being brave and daring

 

Those are nice, expensive titanium drill chips!!

 

Yes,

One of the snake experts on our knife and gun forum called it immediatley. They're close.

Mr. Gard.........

I just did my best to get it into the trash can and off to the woods. I wasn't playing snake charmer with the darn thing The first two encounters he took off. Trust me, I was handling it as if it was a Pigmy!! I can't afford to be out of commision with a snakebite!! Snakes in my yard/shop are not something new. A few years ago, we had a coral snake in my Florida room. That one met it's doom
