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!
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."
ReplyDeleteNO BIG DEAL?? IT'S A BIG DEAL.
Incidentally, Japanese people swear that spreading cigarette ashes around your property will keep snakes away.
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!
