I love snakes, very intelligent beings.
Whenever I see a snake, I’m in awe, one never knows what the snake is going to do, it’s always funny when they play dead, because they are so good at it, every time I’m convinced they are dead and go and get a stick to move them (out of respect) only to find out that they are alive as they slither away!
Hog nosed snakes are the best at playing dead. Laurie tried to move a hognose snake off the trail once so it wouldn’t get run over by bikes. She didn’t know they played dead, so when it started going through it’s whole drama queen, you killed me act, it totally freaked her out as she thought she had mortally wounded it somehow. When she told me about it I asked her if she had filmed it? See said she didn’t because she felt bad thinking she’s accidentally killed it. She told Tristan about it and Tristan asked her if she film it. Funny how some of us think the same. It would have been great to have a film of the snake going through it’s dying and playing dead act.
Indeed, it would be great to have a film of that, but then, it’s difficult to do because they are too convincing about being dead and the shock of it is so distracting that it doesn’t come to mind to film it due to the surprise that it’s alive factor.

Buon venerdì amico mio 🙂
Grazie, Simona!
Ummmm no! Snakes ain’t cute if they are that close to me!
They are cute! And they are huggers, besides.
I have fear of snakes but he really have an adorable face
Thanks, Sara!
Nice looking snake, Tim. I had to separate a neighbor’s cat and a fair-sized king snake yearerday. Two times! Cats seem to have a thing for snakes.
Yeah they do. I really have to keep my boa constrictor and cats apart. The cats would just make a meal for the boa.
For sure! But I’ve seen cats kill other snakes.
Kitties don’t have much trouble dealing with small snakes, but they are no match for an 8 foot long, 30 pound boa constrictor.
Lol…I may not be either. 🙂
Nice!
ummmm—- not to sure about the cute-factor 🙂
