Snakes Oh My!! June 23, 2011

Today I went out to move the recycle bin to the curb, underneath it I found 4 baby coppery colored snakes. I called our friend Robert and he came over and said that they might be copperheads... so he helped us safely catch all but one. He went underground. So I called the local animal control at the sheriff’s office, and officer came right over and identified them as some type of "look alike" snake, but just a grass snake. He took them to turn them loose in an open field. He said even if they were copperheads they would take them to the local snake farm to live out their lives. It turned out to be a pretty cool experience.
