  1. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen the words “adorable” and “baby snake” used in the same sentence before.

  2. The bosque looks very verdant.

    The hognose is adorable. Is it poisonous?

    There’s a certain elegance to Spunkie=Poo’s 💋 art today.

    Thanks Tim!

    • Hognose snakes are cool. The are different colors in different parts of the USA. Thanks, Gigi.

  3. I admit the baby snake is very cute. But I am simply so very much not a snake person… Even a photo sets off something that feels like it must come from deep within my DNA. Loki and Gwendolyn are much more to my liking. They actually look like they might share my reaction. LOL. 🐱 Although that really is a flattering portrait of the little guy. Hugs.

    • Most people have a take-flight reaction to snakes. Good reason, since a lot of snakes around the world are deadly. Around 100,000 people die of snakebite every year, especially in Africa and Asia. One study I read estimated that snake bites and related fatalities could be reduced by as much as 80% if people in rural areas wore shoes. Thanks, Teagan.

    • A cobra would be fun to get a video of, but you don’t want to be holding one. Thanks, Geoff.

    • Hahaha! I need to watch John Wick. Bruce lent me the DVDs for 1 and 2, but I haven’t had time to watch them yet. Linda needs a little backbone when it comes to our beautiful legless friends. Thanks, Brian.

      • I’ll let you take that up with Linda. I am a huge fan of the Wick series, but you need to be comfortable with hundreds of people being shot in the head!

        • From the clips the movies look like good fun. We have several Wick fans in the office. Men and women.
