My mom and I were on the couch attempting to watch some television, but she's on the phone talking to a friend. All of a sudden, she looks outside and says "there's a snake on the wall. You're not going to believe it!". The friend asked how serious she was, and I went to take a look at it. I assured the person on the phone that "there's a pretty big racer snake hanging out in the rain".
Yes, it was also pouring out, because it's summer and the afternoons bring thunder, lightning and water.
I quickly grabbed my Canon T7i, 75-300mm zoom lens and took photos.
Like the last round, I was facing a window screen and now the rain was hindering a quality photo as I was on full zoom. I didn't want to go completely outside because I want to keep my gear as dry as possible.
I had sent my friend Cat a couple of the photos and she responded "that's the tiniest snake I've ever seen, Are you sure it's not a worm? LOL". I told her that it's indeed a racer snake; it's like the one I took last week.
Yes, it looks tiny. But it also doesn't help that I was inside and shooting through a lanai screen. I tried to do minor editing but they're not as sharp as I'd like. So the snake looks fuzzy, which is why Cat laughed at it.
I want to know how it fed and climbed up the wall. There's an obvious food bump in its stomach. It ate something small enough that whatever that roundness is, it's being digested.
Gross.
But damn. I'm seeing all sorts of crazy this week.
This better not be a sign of things to come. Considering there's a tropic system in play right now that could cause some disruption over the weekend. They're watching it closely. However, seeing snakes isn't fun. I saw a plop plop iguana the other day. Animals are coming out of the woodwork and normally when that happens, it's not going to be a fun time had by all soon after.
Fingers crossed I'm wrong...
Cheers;
