I found this little guy last weekend and the only reason I decided to keep him is I think he's too small to survive the winter. He's smaller than a pencil. Only thing is I haven't found one that looked like this before. Mostly brown and a black head. What suggestion would you make?? Thanks.

I saw one just like this on a bike trail a week or so ago. Unfortunatelly the little guy was flattened. We were able to move his poor flat little body to the long grass so no one else would run him over.

These snakes are smaller than Garters. He's quite capable of surviving the winter, he doesn't need rescuing!

Justin, ask James nicely to take the periods out of your new name. They disturb me.

I come from a long line of very punctual people, James. LOL

Just one of those things that gets to me! I can pick a typo out of a dictionary!! I guess it comes from doing a whole lot of reading and a bit of writing... you know what they say, be careful or you may end up in my novel!! LOL

Soooooo much fun having an-- er-- donkey!!

"Honey, does this halter make my --donkey-- look fat?"
"My --donkey-- is itching, wonder if it has bugs??"
"I really need to wash my --donkey--, it's sooo dirty!"

Oh. the jokes just never get old!

Well Anji, I think I just know where there are a couple hotspots. Or with the way the weather is lately........coldspots. But I'll give you a hint.....Windsor and Lasalle. Let me know if you need another hint. LOL

AHA!!! LaSalle area, I knew there was a catch -- it is on the opposite end of town!!
Lots of snakes out there, but a place I am seldom fortunate enough to get out to. And I'll admit that you're probably better at finding them than I am.;)

..........so when are you sending some over to the east side????:D:D

You should have met me this Summer Anji. Most of what I caught was in the east side. But I admit I pretty much just catch and release now. I can point out a couple spots where I have been lucky at. Unfortunately, the best of the areas has started being developed, and they will soon be gone from there. :mad:

what kind of donkey is that?
it looks so big - are you sure it's not a mule or a hinny?
I once had a donkey, but it was small and gray
in fact, I seem to remember that his ears were longer than his face

Rhea, she's a sicilian, and the angle of the pic makes her look big. She's probably about 9 or 10 hands. Not a mini, but not a full size. CUUUUUUUTE as a button!!!!!! Her name is Purdy. :-)
