The other day, in the garden, I met this gorgeous black snake. He (or she) held still long enough for me to snap a few pics.
I'm glad that they are there to take care of vermin.

Wow, nice photo! And glad you were not afraid unnecessarily!
Beautiful! And that's great that you and he (or she) appreciate each other!

What a beautiful creature!:)
Wow, that's a big one. I wonder what kind of snake that is. I wonder what those round things are in the photo, some sort of fruit? How would you know if it was a dangerous snake? I know, peppered you with too many questions.
It's a black rat snake, non-venomous.
One of the most common venomous snakes in North Carolina is the copperhead snake. I've never seen one, but I know what it looks like.

The round things are black walnuts, we got tons of them.
Very pretty. it even has a shine to it.
is that black walnuts on the ground its posing with?
Thank you! Yes, they are black walnuts. We got tons this year, maybe a sign of a harsh winter to come.Quote:
