uninvited guests

that's it. i am not gathering the eggs anymore or at the very least for a while. 3 chicken snakes in 7 days may just be my limit. especially since i stuck my hand in the nesting box with one of our guests. the guest on the left had 3 eggs (2 of which were ceramic)in his belly. i guess he thought it was an all you can eat buffet. his friend only had one. how do i know that you ask? because my one day vet, cameron, squeezed them out to inspect. oh boys!

  1. Ummm...that it quite possibly the grossest thing I've ever seen. Snakes terrify me. I had Nick on the phone when I saw this picture and I said, "THE SNAKES ARE LIKE FIVE FEET LONG!" Then he said, "Only five feet? That's really no big deal."

    NO BIG DEAL?? IT'S A BIG DEAL.

    Incidentally, Japanese people swear that spreading cigarette ashes around your property will keep snakes away.

  2. This photo completely freaks me out! I would sell my house and move to a high-rise quicker than you could squeeze another egg out of a snake!
