I was making my nightly rounds around midnight a couple of nights ago and as I walked past the Staghorn Fern hanging in a pine tree near the coop, I heard a little noise. I shined my flashlight on the fern and there was this little fellow. A Corn Snake. Harmless to people, but I lost a lovely white dove and her newly hatched baby to one several years ago. This little guy was eating a lizard and by the time I got my camera he had swallowed everything but the tail. After he finished I caught him and relocated him several miles away.

I get several a year here and relocate them. When my son was around 6 or so, we found one in the backyard. It was small, just like this one and we still have her! My son is 19 now and she must be around 13yoa. She is very beautiful and her coloring is a bit unusual. She has no black outlining the saddles on her back, just red, yellow, orange, white. She is really pretty and very tame.

This little one in the pic was approx 13 -14 inches long. Just a baby.
