We were visiting Kate and Snag and wanted to see if there were shoestring Dekay's Snakes all over, because three weeks ago, there was a very pregnant gal ready to burst!
(That was here: http://hitmewithyournaturestick.blogspot.com/2012/06/just-checkin-in-6-22-2012.html)
Kate said that she had seen some small ones, so I figure all is well. I flipped some stones, but saw nothing. (It was very warm- in the 90s, so I'm not surprised there wasn't much action.) I flipped again right at dusk and guess what I found... another pregnant female!!
Smaller than the other but just as full o' babies, she had a very slow slither!
Snag is not a big fan of snakes (though he respects them) but even he is very happy about these "in a family way" snakes... it means he has a very good ecosystem in his back yard!!
We couldn't be happier either; to have such great friends and a nearby colony of Dekay's is a treat indeed!
