Those Rainbow snakes must be really pretty....never saw on live.....but still have the image burned in my mind of one in the guidebook for snakes....seminal book of my childhood.

(Hi, Decterlove!) Yeah, I love these guys in my garden, because they eat all the bugs!

I love me some snakes--beautiful creatures. In fact, my wilderness name is Snake.

Yes reptiles and amphibians are pretty good indicator species....especially snakes as snakes can seldom survive any environment that's been altered significantly. Small ones such as ringneck snakes...

Yeah, they had sold out of the squash advertised for 99 cents, by the time you arrived. Do you really think the good folks at Grocery Outlet, were trying to mislead the public over low priced squash?...

I have had almost nothing but excellent customer service at that store, but I have seen little chinks in the armor, if you will. Generally speaking, there are lots of very young folks working and...
