Any snake that is not green or jet black gets the 10 foot rule from me. To find out what it is other than that I would have to get closer, not gonna happen.<br />Keep up the good works FC.

Just saw a clip the other day about some eejit that got hisownself bit by a DB. He was taking pictures and got too close. <b>รถ</b> <br />Personally, I give those guys a very wide berth... at least twice their body length is my general rule. Better yet, I'll shoot through the car window.<br /><br />Re your previous tupelo post... too bad the old guy that usually mans the stand wasn't around. Bet you and he woulda had a gabfest. 8-] I'm not a real big honey consumer, either, but I do love me some tupelo. Ever see Ulee's Gold?<br /><br />Sayre was right, the preacher who used to sell it over by <i>Wacky</i> Springs 'went home' a couple years back. I haven't been by to see if anybody else took over. Hey, I've bought honey from that place outside Palatka! San Mateo, right? I often wonder if they're still there. Now I'm gonna have to get over to Hosford. I've passed the road TO it a jillion times.SophieMaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09396958301555933308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-71961754135061885112010-08-07T23:11:31.712-05:002010-08-07T23:11:31.712-05:00They are the most dangerous thing out there for th...They are the most dangerous thing out there for that reason ... they don't get out of your way but rather protect their turf.

...Y'all,<br />Glad you liked(?) the shots and video.<br />Moc's get a bad rap for being an offensive snake when it's more like they are too DEfensive.<br /><br />They don't scoot off like other snakes. They hold their ground and if that ground is brushy or grassy, you might get too close before you know it's there.<br />Notice how this one never made a break for it.<br /><br />Not even when I scootched her off the road with a stick. She just coiled up and slid like a doughnut across the gravel to the grassy berm as I pushed gently with the pine branch.<br /><br />She never struck either, but don't count on that.<br /><br />Compare her behavior to almost any other snake ... most would have been gone like a vanishing ripple the moment I got out of the JEEP.<br /><br />Didja notice it's trachea?<br />Pretty cool, huh?R.Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905593499136090763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-6834306799874807682010-08-07T13:59:30.404-05:002010-08-07T13:59:30.404-05:00very nice.. i really like nature and it's crea...very nice.. i really like nature and it's creatures especially snakes beauty..

I know there are snakes everywhere, but in my 29 years of living in FL I have seen more snakes in my own yard than in the 19 years of running the hills of KY I did before that. And they have the nerve here to actually slither into my library! Good thing we got him out or I would still be on medical leave (Is afraid of snakes in the library a disability?
