A rattle snake with a philosophical view of life. Who’d a thought.

I’d worry that she might bite back. She looks like she packs some venom of her own.

Snake to boy – "carry me down the hill, I promise I won’t bite you.: Boy to snake – “I’m not coming anywhere near you.” Snake – “C’mon, I promise I won’t bite.” Boy picks up snake and puts him in his backpack and takes him to the bottom of the hill. Reaches in and lets the snake go. Snake lunges at him and bites him. Boy, in tears, says “why did you bite me when you promised you wouldn’t?” Snake says to boy “you knew what I was when you picked me up.” Moral – Beware of empty promises.

I guess going through life with a maraca attached to your tail makes you more philosophical. Doctor T., I thought the whole bush looked like a teddy bear. Definitely more dangerous.

She don’t look the type to simply convulse and slither anywhere . ’ . ☻

Shoulda’ stayed in the grass….

A teddy bear?

That’s a real swinging snake…..

Doctor Toon said, about 12 hours agoI’m seeing the face of some kind of critter in the bush at the base of the tree, looks more dangerous than either of them.It looks like a hippo to me, but I wouldn’t bet on it.
