snakes... everywhere this year.
First, Belle got this one in the backyard and killed it. Biggest garter snake I've ever come across. it was almost 2 feet long lol. He must have been eating well. Belle probably killed him as revenge for eating all her voles, moles, mice and/or baby rabbits that she likes to eat.
Then today, I came home from the grocery store and brought up the first load of groceries. walked back out to get the next load and almost stepped on this scene
Right on my front stoop which is 5 steps up from the ground. Mama and daddy bird were NOT happy about this. I couldn't help but feel bad. But Hannah and I watched for almost an hour. He eventually gave up because there was no way that wee snake was going to be able to swallow that bird haha.
Apparently this is how he got up there.
in theory I don't mind having snakes around but I really don't want to clean up dead ones that Belle leaves and I REALLY don't want them eating baby birds on my front stoop.
