Serpent Resident

We think this Bull Snake is a permanant resident of Laughing Orca Ranch, and we're glad.
At first we thought we were seeing several snakes on our property, because it seemed like every day we were seeing a snake in the pasture.
This time, Mr. Snake decided to visit the grove of juniper trees beside our house.
Jackson actually saw him first beside the basketball court. Mr. Snake is about 5' long.He was obviously trying to find his way back to the pasture so he could find refuge in one of the yuccas out there.On his way back, he passssssed by the basketball court again.Mr. Snake seems to think he's hidden safe and sound, even if his tail is sticking out. He stayed like this for quite a while. Good thing we don't mind non-venomous, non-aggressive snakes on our land, or he'd be a goner.
