More jobsite critters

My coworker Ralph is always bringing me creatures. I like creatures, yes, but I’m not going to bring the poor things home. Well, not always—the toads were an exception.
Today he popped into my office with this bad boy:
Western Yellow-Belly Racer
He wanted very much to bite both Ralph and Lyle, but Ralph was holding him kind of tightly. Since he didn’t have any teeth that I could see, I was more relaxed with him and he was happier.
I drove him one-handed down to one of my sites that doesn’t get a lot of traffic but probably has some nice things for him to eat. At least the skunk’s eating something down there. He was perfectly happy to be held while we were in the truck; he just looked around and inched out of my grasp a little. When I put him near the ground, he was gone. Pretty, isn’t he?

The only kind of snake I like is one-eyed (snicker), so when I first started to read your entry I was all “ugh, shudder, itsa snake, shudder, read faster Gert, whuhuhuh”. Then I read that you were holding it and I scroll down and see the picture and now my mind is SCREAMING “ohmygawdshesholidngafuckingsnake”.

I’m laughing to myself at the thought of you driving through town, holding a snake in one hand.
