1Step 1: Jump backwards and say bad, bad words. I went out to turn the sprinkler off. Like a good country boy, I was watching where I put my feet..... Sort of......
2Step 2: Check the tail… ..it’s “iffy”. Pretty blunt..... but, on closer examination, it looks like it has been lopped off. That little yellow/green button looks like scar tissue.
3Step 3: Check the head. We’re cool….not a triangle for a head, so not venomous in this part of the world. Thought it was a bull snake, but the color and pattern is wrong…plus the dot on the head and the stripe down the back. Probably a ribbon snake.
