The snakes are back!
Every year there are snakes that rest on the rocks on top of the retaining wall behind our house, by the creek. We are pretty certain that they are either Diamondback or Northern water snakes and so are not poisonous. Still, they sometimes come up in our yard and eat the fish in the ponds and also get a bit territorial and aggressive at times, so I’m not too thrilled with seeing them. At any rate I got the following picture of one recently. It seems a little lighter in color and I’m wondering if that is just because the time of the year, getting ready to molt or something like that?
