this was the little surprise in our driveway this morning! i had to use a stick to get rid of it!! i know it's a really small snake, but still i would prefer not having to battle reptiles in my driveway before school! reptile expert noah told me not to worry he would protect me and that "blue back" (the name he gave the snake) could regrow the tail and tummy i took off with the stick!! gotta love school mornings!!
