I spotted another snake this morning on our gravel front walkway.
I stood inside the vestibule to take these photos.
It's not the same one as the other day.
I think it's a Copperhead - a poisonous snake here in Maryland.
You decide. Here's a photo from the MD Dept of Natural Resources.
Or is it a corn snake?
Don't think so when I compare the markings.
Whatever it is I hope it goes away.
[post script: as of Friday the snake was still there. It found a hole in our rock wall to hang out in.]
Looking at the DNR website I think the one I posted about earlier this week was a garter snake.
my vote is a Northern Copperhead but what do I know? We have NO snakes in Ireland!
ReplyDeleteDo the new owners know that they are moving to snakeville?
ReplyDeleteTo me.... a snake is a snake. And, I run like crazy.
ReplyDeleteToo close for comfort!! Keep a close eye out and watch your step. The snakes might be coming to enjoy your beautiful garden this spring. Wishing you a nice weekend, Marcia! ♡Dawn@Petals.Paper.SimpleThymes

Hello, Oh wow! I do not like snakes. I am not an expert, but I would not want a coppehead near my home. Creepy!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!
YIPES... Just seeing that snake made me chill.... I am SO afraid of snakes since I don't know one from another.... I've only seen one or two since we moved here in 2003.....
ReplyDeleteThere are things you will miss and things you won't miss. Right????? BUT--you'll always have memories and stories to tell.
Happy May 1st.... Amazing how quickly it got here. I will publish a blog post tomorrow.
Hugs,
Betsy
Yikes! I just can't tell them apart, and that's what scares me. You are certainly getting your fill of them!
