Snake!

The other day a snake showed up in the back yard.  Brian found it when the dogs started barking at it.

We didn't know if it was a rattlesnake or not, so the situation was a bit tense.

The snake was coiled up and making a lot of noise.

Fortunately, as you can see, this guy (or gal) is definitely not a rattlesnake.  Clue #1: the head doesn't have a wide triangular shape (to hold all of that venom).  Clue #2: the tail doesn't have a rattle.

The snake's motion is very graceful, but the dogs don't seem to appreciate it.

Even if it's not a rattlesnake, it should be given plenty of space!
