scary snake photos
Well, actually they are scary snake skin photos. I went outside with the
dogs after I got home from work and this is what I saw 2 feet from the bottom step! Luckily it was only a skin and not a snake but that means the snake was there (which is scary when you have small dogs). I think I need to move to a big city where I don't have to deal with snakes, hawks and owls! oh my. http://www.kodakgallery.com/Slidesho...e&conn_speed=1 |

Not large enough to worry your dog. Looks like possibly a garter or racer although of course it is hard to tell. You should be happy - keeps the other pests down. Most snakes are harmless to dogs, even tiny ones. It is uncommon for most North American snakes to get large enough to try eating a 6 pound dog. And unless their lives are threatened they don't attack what they can't eat. Even poisonous snakes try to avoid confrontation. -- Diane Blackman There is no moral victory in proclaiming to abhor violence while preaching with violent words. http://dog-play.com/ http://dogplayshops.com/ |

Not large enough to worry your dog. I just measured the skin and it is over 6 feet long and almost 3 inches wide. That is big enough to be scary for me!

I live in the city (Seattle) and my neighbor had a pair of bald eagles nesting in one of his trees for a couple of years. I kept a very close eye on my small dogs during that time period. We still have kestrels flying around, but I think they're too small to carry off a 6 pound dog - hopefully. We've also had numerous in-city coyote sightings - including a youngster who found his way into a downtown office building a couple of years ago (captured safely and released back into the wild). yikes, guess moving to the city isn't a sure thing either |

We have black rat snakes around here that shed a skin about 6 feet long. They have to unhinge their jaws to eat an egg; I don't think they could manage a small dog. Amy Dahl |
