I could not believe that Ben actually got Kelli to hold the snake!
But that wasn't the amazing thing. What was so amazing is that the next morning, Bob noticed a snakeskin in a tree outside our back door. By the looks of it, the snake had shed, then started to look for a meal....which is when Bob found it behind his shop.
Now for the amazing part. I'll give you some perspective on where this freshly shed skin is.....
Keep looking....
Of course I knew that rat snakes could climb trees...after all eggs are one of their favorite foods...
But never could I have imagined that they could climb so high....
Wow!

do you have any idea how fortunate you are that i wasn't there when you found this???????
snakes are neat! Visit my blog
I am surprised that someone spotted it so far up in the tree! Wow!
How in the world did you see the skin alllll the way up there??? We leave black snakes/Rat snakes alone here as they are good to have around. We havent seen very many snakes here at all. Maybe 2 in the 2 years we have lived here. Which is fine by me!!
It caught Bob's eye because some Blue Jays were up there causing a fuss. When he looked up to see what it was all about he noticed the skin.
That changed my mind. No trees or shrubs near the big yard for the Girls. I think we'll just contstruct a shady awning, instead.
