We scared it once and it slipped into a hole in the mulch to hide under the deck. It needed to be in the sun for warmth, it's a rather cool day, so when we checked again it was out in the sun.
It took a search of Maryland snakes to discover what it was. It likes wetlands and bogs so maybe it's making its home here because of our pond. Hmm. I wonder how many gold fish it will eat?
