Early this morning in the wee hours, we were expected to have some strong weather. It did not happen. However, this little guy prepared himself & hunkered behind the iron metal on the screen door.

Then he moved into the corner,

before moving along the wall's edge,

and crawling up the side of the wall.

I watched his movements for an hour or two...just to make sure I knew where he was at all times. I would have hated to have stuck my hand in my small yard basket hanging on the wall for my gloves or pruners only to find his hiding spot.

Hubs finally came home and grabbed him with the pliers. You can see how he wrapped himself around the pliers. He was taken to the back corner of the lot and released.

Snakes---

POOF!!! 

Be gone!
