Default Story of the Milk Snake

The snake was curled up on the concrete step sunning itself. I didn't see it at first and started to put my foot down. It struck at me! That meant war!

One day I came home and found it laying straight out beside the wooden walkway that goes around the garage. I went and got a long tupperware-like container with a lid and poked some holes in the lid. Then I grabbed, not only my heavy fireplace gloves, but two large BBQ forks. I pinned it down with them just behind its head and at its tail. Then I grabbed it behind the head, lifted that fork and then lifted the fork on its tail. Well, it started thrashing and turning! Milk snakes will throw off a milky, very smelly substance which it did. I got it in the container and snapped on the lid. You cannot imagine how hard I was shaking!!! Called a friend whose sister loves snakes. He came and took it away. Hubby was very proud of me!
