STOP READING IF YOU HATE SNAKES.....
For those of you who are still with me...... look what 'the husband' captured.......okay it's small (on the left side of this bucket).....but it is a Copper Head..... = poisonous! As the weather cools down at this time of the year in the mountains, occasionally we'll find snakes sunning themselves on the warm roadways......or in this case on our driveway....eyeing the entrance to our garage so it had to be moved...
PS - Whoopie.......the Packers won!!!

Hey just thought you'd like to know the snake in the photo is not a Copperhead; it is a harmless (nonpoisonous) Black Racer (Coluber constrictor) one of 2 different species often lumped together under the common name "Black Snake". Black Racers have a pattern like in your photo when they're young but fade to shiny, satiny black as they mature. They are very thin and fast and are discernible from Copperheads when young by their large eyes with round pupils (Copperheads eyes are like those of a cat).
