Hopefully this little guy won't be a frequent visitor to my home. He can hang around outside and eat the mice. My son wanted to cut his head off (or at least cut him in half) with a pair of tree loppers.. poor thing. Needless to say, he headed back into the closet and disapeared the same way he entered.

Do you know what type of a snakle that is? I had no idea there are snakes in the middle of Tampa.

That looks like what we call in Central Texas a Black Racer, or, a Coachwhip.

I used to live in Orlando and was always running over the damned things with the lawn mower. Made quite a racket before they came out in several pieces. They are black snakes, the non poisonus garden variety.

There were also lots of diamondbacks (rattlers) and coral snakes out there. They are not pleasant.

I used to catch black racers all the time when I was younger. Feisty little suckers. I actually wanted to be a herpetologist for awhile.

I used to get a pet mouse once a week, but the boa just kept eating them....

Here is Maximillion (Boykin Spaniel) You can call him Max. He likes to open Christmas presents!

Yeah I had the same problem with a couple of Ball pythons and an albino Red Tail boa. The boa got too big so I gave him to the zoo. He was my favorite.

Max looks like he had a good Christmas.
