serpentine


Isn't she beautiful?  Four feet, or thereabouts, of bull snake.  We were packing up the cars this morning, and there she was, winding her way across the concrete garage apron. having eaten, I hope (though she doesn't look very bulgy) all of our mice and pack rats.   She just licked up ants and no-see-ums on her way.  Fascinating to see that on a fairly flat surface, she really does use her muscles and wind, whereas on rough ground and grass, she goes much straighter and faster (just in case you were thinking of developing a snake racing track).
