Hi Snakeman Clappy! No, I didn't eat the snake. He was a big moccasin. Um... So did you wear him? <g> Just kiddin'. Last year I was using my weed wacker to trim the sections of grass that the tractor mower didn't get, when all of a sudden the 15" garder snake slithered across my path. It caught me off guard. I panicked and screamed like a little school girl. Then I turned the weed wacker on an angle and got him. Then I felt sorta guilty. The friggin' snake wasn't like your moccasin. It was harmless. It was just doing what a snake does... hides in the grass and waits for food to stroll by... Unfortunately he didn't have the Australian (dude from cable T.V. who chases crocadiles and snikes...) as the person cutting my lawn. Instead he had me walking by, armed with a weed wacker. I still feel guilty for panicking like that... The other snakes slither right by me with out saying hi. Instead they flip me the bird and continue on their way. I felt bad for a while. My wife was happy. She saw that snake eating a frog and a mouse previous to my yard work. I haven't noticed a population explosion of frogs near my house, but I can tell ya that the field mice seem to love my garage... -ClappyTheSnakeOilSalesman
