Yesterday Linda came and picked us up in her very nice new car, and we went to the huge mall in south Sarasota. We were gone for 5 hours, and if I known we would be walking around that much I would not have worn high heels! Ouch!
We had a great time checking out all the stores, shopping and snacking. Afterwards we stopped by Super Target to get some groceries.
When we got home I went in to go and open the garage door, since I didn't have the garage opener with me. But I took too much time, so Linda and Sarah decided to go in through the front door as well. All of a sudden I hear them screaming and I run out to see what is going on. Turns out that when I went inside I must have dislodged a baby snake that had decided to hang out on our door frame, and when they went to go inside Sarah had seen its tail hanging out, and then all of a sudden it had fallen, almost on top of them!
It was hard to determine what kind of snake it was, since the color can often be a little bit different when they are young. I think it might have been a corn snake, completely harmless, but it could also have been a copper head, very venomous... We have a lot of corn snakes around our house (great for keeping pests away), so I would lean on it being a corn snake...
Linda manage to get the snake out in front of the house to some shrubs. I don't mind snakes, but I prefer if they hang out on a little more of a distance... The snake was NOT happy to be moved, and it tried to attack the broom she was using several times, it was pissed. When I came out later with the dogs it was gone. Hope it didn't decide to slither back up around the door frame again! You bet I will be looking around carefully and slamming that door hard to see if anything falls down... at least for the next few days...
