@LawrenceGerald@poa.st That was not a great start to the day. Glad you got rid of it and do hope the stench fades fast. I'd say you earned your coffee this morning and then some.
I don't hate all snakes myself but I am always kind of wary of them in a primal fear way. I used to have a few tiny little vine snakes that would weave their way across the chain link fence around the front of the garden, like clockwork, each morning and they were cute and harmless. I still give serpents the sideeye until I know for sure they're cool though. :pusheen_sus: 🐍

I'm glad the little idiot dog had the sense not to try to seize the snek. or maybe he did, I heard him barking obsessively after I let him out but I wasn't watching. this is the second snek I've seen up close to the house in as many weeks. I don't worry about little ones, but the big ones steal eggs and can kill small chiggens. if it had been in the coop, well, that's a death sentence. I may kill the next one regardless. sneks are surprisingly tough in the fiber, you have to saw away to behead them. at least, if you're a middle-aged wamman working alone and trying to not get bitten in the process. beheading things is not my favorite thing to do.
