One day I was busy working in the kitchen when Amelia and Max started acting hysterical. I couldn't even make out why they were so upset. Then I saw this little guy IN OUR HOUSE!! He went in through an open door and they saw it come in. I got it out quick with a stick. Then I went on line to find out if it was venomous. No worries, just a fun little snake. I told the kids if they could catch it, they could keep it (outside).
A couple hours later Max found this snake in the yard. I watched it for a long time and got some good pictures. My neighbor said it was not venomous. But I had a feeling it was because I had just looked at the pictures of snakes online. This snake scaled up the tree. We watched it until it disappeared in the branches. Max was scared of the back yard for about two weeks. Later I found out it was a venomous copperhead snake. As long as it leaves us alone, I'll leave it alone. I haven't seen either snake since. Snakes don't like kids.
