I've got some good pics of her and my other terriers on my blog.

I had a bla...something to make Kristine shudder... I had a black rat snake as a pet when I was a kid. It was over five feet when I got it. I kept it in an old aquarium, but when it wanted out, it let itself out. Many cool mornings I found it under the covers with me. I must have smelled like an old log and was a nice warm thing to snuggle against. I eventually released it and I think it had grown at least a foot in the years I had it. She laid eggs not long after I caught her and I was inundated with rat snakes for a while. Sometimes I wonder if I restocked my neighborhood with them as they started turning up in good numbers beginning a few years later. I was an avid snake hunter from a very early age and we had never found rat snakes. She came from an orchard we visited many miles away from home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-82865904608048549582007-07-23T20:02:00.000-04:002007-07-23T20:02:00.000-04:00As part of the copperhead search, I just re-read t...As part of the copperhead search, I just re-read the Sailor and the black widow post (and then re-read your tribute to her because it just didn't seem right not to).

Nice one!<BR/><BR/>Never even occurred to me (living in the Great White North as I do), but do you need to worry about copperheads or rattlers (esp. w/ the relatively low body weight of the terriers)? If you've already posted on it, don't worry about replying - I'm going to search the blog as soon as I submit this...dr. hypercubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248184324020645672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-41370784926308876772007-07-23T18:15:00.000-04:002007-07-23T18:15:00.000-04:00Snakes are one of my phobias.
