Re: Baiting snakes
Hi Y’all: Remember how I said that I had no plans to feed the snakes in the sunroom? Wel l l l….. I was sitting here doing my taxes and had about enough of that for a while, so being of the mind to do something else, anything else for a while I thought about the trout in the frig, and wondered, if I was really, really careful I might be able to get one of the snakes to take a piece. I got a stick and whittled a sharp end on it and impaled a little strip of trout belly meat on it (I hope trout is OK) and headed to the sunroom. The milksnake (I couldn’t resist another pix, it is really nice) was back, looking out the window and a couple of the guys were sunning. The first took off as soon as I got close. The second was a little nervous, but hung around (I could see that he was getting ready to scoot). So I slowly put the fish up to his nose. He didn’t like it at first but when he tasted it with his tongue he changed his mind, and down it went. Pretty cool!
