Do you put it in a bag?

Yes, I usually use a brown paper bag. But if they are all gone then my mom lets me have a used Walmart bag.

Corn Snakes (Itsbobius Guttata Guttata) are a member of the large family of snakes called Colubridae. Colubridae includes species such as bulls, pines, garters, kings and others. The first part of their Latin name is called their genus. Corn snakes share their genus with close relatives such as fox snakes and rat snakes.

Maybe you need to go back to work.

It wasn't a self-reference.


As for the corn snake, looking at pics, I don't think that's what it was. Those have a clear pattern, which this did not (at least, not one that was visible from 4 feet away). It kind of looked like the Northern Ringneck Snake, though I doubt it was this type of snake, as I didn't notice any band/ring around it's head.

The band disappears when it's about to attack. You got away just in time!

I pulled a snake out of the pool yesterday, don't care what kind it was. It met the business end of a shovel.

That'd freak me out about owning a pool! Whatever this one was, it seems to have slithered off. I found a cool site though that lets you enter info about the snake to help ID it. Unfortunately, due to my scaredy-cat self having frozen up when I saw it, I don't recall enough about it to really make a determination. But it doesn't appear to have been anything poisonous.

Now you gotta do whatI did when I saw a snake in my yard.

MOVE OUT~!​
