And the little one... he REALLY almost got stepped on, which is how he was found in the first place.

I play basketball with a Scoutmaster, he took his boys on a trip to Gettysburg last week, anyway, they were walking around some ruins of an old prison camp, and the attendant told the kids to watch out for Rattlesnakes.
So anyway, one of the kids finds a snake, checks to see if it has a rattle, it doesn't, he picks it up and BLAM BLAM, bitten once on each arm by a freaking Copperhead. Medevac, 5 days in the hospital. Anyway, thats a fun herp story, and remember in Michigan, if it doesn't rattle, it can't really hurt you. But not in most other states. |

coolness Drew!
When I finally get around to downloading them off my camera, I have more pics of smooth grass snakes. We found one a couple weeks ago in the same general location as Stacy's. First one I've seen in I bet, 30 years or more!!!!!(I can only recall seeing one other). I was GEEKED! |
