Fran does not have a throwing arm. It's worth the price of admission. :)

My habit is to catch them while they are sunning. I have learned to catch them about two thirds of the way down their length because they somehow can't turn and snipe at me as I carry them down to the back fence and the creek.... Now I use a baggie because one of them one time got scared enough to do his business all over my hand. I didn't even know snakes had the facility for that action... I only knew to avoid the head... LOL

Anyway... this one time I was carrying this slightly twisting nice long slender snake down to the back yard and Mopsy was watching me. She could care less about the snake, she likes squirrels. I got to the fence and tossed the snake toward the creek, but as I said I can't throw... I released the snake and it went up, up, up into the tree under which I was standing and caught on a limb. LOL... I am sure he probably came back up to go under the deck and tell his extended family about the aborted creek flight.

Needless to say, I did not remain under the tree.
