Please be careful while working and pulling weeds from your flowerbeds. I tidy a few beds up last week when I ran across this snake. It coiled and struck at me several times. It had a diamond shaped head or a kind of Pointed head which you can not really make out now. I'm sure it was poisonious, and I don't like any kind of snakes even the good ones. They are all deadly as far as I'm concerned, because they scare me to death. I nearly cut him into with one of my gardening tools and then I tossed him up on the patio. I thought his innards were coming out of the cut when Iooked closer and noticed it was full of eggs. Just think, whatever kind of snake it was it was getting ready to have a bunch of babies crawling all over my yard. Let's just say this one isn't going to produce any more babies. I just wonder how many sisters it had...that maybe full of eggs too???
