As you can see from the picture, we got a bit of snow this LAST DAY of December! You can also see we have horses, and of course we were getting low on hay, so we had to go to the local feed store and buy some. We hooked up the jeep and headed on out to pick up a few bales to last us though to the weekend
The hay is kept in an outside shed at the feed store. We pulled through the shed and waited for one of the guys to help load it. He jumped up on the stack, and jumped back as he said "Would you look at that! A snake!" I said "Let me see" and pronounced it as a Prairie Kingsnake, and that I was going to take it home. Needless to say it was very, very cold, but still able to move a bit. Glad we were there to find it, as if it were any one else, they probably would have killed it thinking it was a copperhead, as every "brown" snake around here must be a copperhead! It's a bit warmer now, at home, and we'll be letting it go when the warm weather comes back. We may rehibernate it in the meantime. We have enough mouths to feed over the winter now! But this is still one lucky kingsnake!
