At little after 3 PM on Saturday afternoon (after I put the kids down for naps), I hear a scream and then knocking at the front down. Rob and Cade were still working in the backyard while Ian was blowing the leaves off the driveway. I got up from the computer and ran to the door. It was Ian and he jumped in the house. "Momma, I just saw a black snake slither in the garage behind the garbage can," said Ian. I grabbed my camera and we ran out the back door to get Rob. Since Rob was at home and could take care of this issue, I felt I could photograph this event. Praise the Lord that Rob was at home!!
Rob grabbed his shovel and hoe from the storage room because it was open in the back and closed the door from the garage so the snake would not crawl in there. We walked around the house to the garage to check out the situation.
Rob moved the first garbage can out but no snake. He moved the second garbage can out and again no snake. I told him it might be a good idea to move our vehicles out of the garage in case he decides to run across the garage so Cade got Daddy's keys and Rob moved the truck.
I have to tell you that the turtle and eggs was nice but the snake at one of my front doors and in my garage is NOT. I don't like them but I am OK with them in the woods but not that close to my space!!
BTW, we have determined that we think this was a water moccasin!
What will be next?
UPDATE: We know think that this was not a water moccasin but a water snake of some kind. Unfortunately for the snake, it doesn't really matter to me because a snake is a snake!!
