THATS IT!!! Thats the SOB SNAKE I SAW!! My mom had the shotgun pointed at it and i had but down the door so none of them would get bitten again i was wondering why none of the chicks were up front but my mom was more mad than me she grabbed two shovels and CHOPPED him in half and now he is laying down on the dirt road for the vultures

DITTO !!

Actually, the first one looks like 1/4 to 3/4, not in half, and the second one isdeifnitely 1/8 to 7/8, not in half. Please be more correct with your fractions next time.
