What’s Up?
The cost of living, this week’s photo challenge, hot air balloons and floating babies…
A shot of the latter two would have been nice but all I got was a Corn-snake with a belly full of Mud Martins.
I might have been dreaming about hot air balloons surrounded by cherubs when someone apparently looked up and the commotion started. I rose from my place of leisure and watched as everyone headed toward the excitement. “Get the tongs and steady the ladder. There’s a snake up here along the rafter.”
I (of course) grabbed a camera and the rest is pictures.
This is quite a capture, Janna! Great post.

I don’t love them either but they do have their place in the circle of life and sometimes we cross paths.

Hello! I found my way here because you popped by on my blog and left me your visiting card… Glad to meet you, and great blog 🙂 We have a corn snake, her name is Speedy. She’s never eaten a mud martin before, whatever that is.

It is nice to meet you too. Do you keep this corn snake as a pet? I guess if you have named her Speedy that was a dumb question. A Mud Martin is a plentiful bird around here.

Yes, Speedy’s our pet snake: my son’s, to be precise.

What does he feed her and how often?
