Andrea and the boys were outside playing when Andrea notice a little "friend" crossing the driveway. She quickly came to tell me the news. The snake was only about a foot long, but not knowing much about snakes, and not wanting it taking up home in my front yard, I decided the whack it in half with my shovel (and to give it a second whack closer to its head after the first one left it with enough body to continue to flee!). I don't think it was poisonous; the only deadly snake I thought it might resemble is a a Copperhead, but my guess is that it was probably a harmless gardener snake. Perhaps one of you knows something about snakes and can set us straight as to what type of snake we found.

Ewwwww....what a bloody mess. It looked much more frightening in pics than shriveled and dried on your driveway! :) Yikes...I don't like it with the mouth open. Looks like he's trying to eat you alive! Bravo for being so brave ;).
On behalf of the snake I'll just say, "ouch!"
I'm assuming you don't believe in karma? :-)
