AAAAAAAA !!!!!!

Minding my own business, I walked outside with Oreo and to our surprise ..... a rat snake was in our front yard !!!! AAAAAAA .... it tried to crawl up the tree but finally gave up (probably because I was pushing it with a broom) and went away. I looked it up on the internet and they eat birds and squirrels -- YIKES !! Another day at the zoo !!
