Wasn't it a bull snake that bit sissy? Nice of your renters to not want to kill the snake and her eggs anyways.

Tmann and sissy thinking alike today on dream sleeper.........never heard the term myself, lol , guess it's a mid-west term or southern

Black snake bit sissy, jw, my landscaper is pulling down the pond. If my renters were doing it they would probably kill the snake.

He really is cute. Does he get around ok as he looks a little thin or maybe it's just that he's so young.

Thanks addy, got it, black snake. Is a black snake more aggressive than a bull snake or was sissy's snake just having a bad day?

Think it was just having a bad snake day, maybe missed its morning coffee. They are not known for aggression. I have two hanging out here both around 5 feet long, they do their best to crawl away when I happen upon them.

love it coon butt LMAO .dream sleeper is also a mattress name and in the Amish country dream sleeper means someone who acts out dreams in there sleep .It can mean something as small as a talker or as big as someone who walks or moves in there sleep .Or some in the Amish area thought it was the bad spirit you may have run into during the day leaving your body .

He is still sleeping so I went out to get some closeups. The squirrel came a little while ago but was startled to see this raccoon sleeping right above his feeder. The squirrel never did eat, I think he was scared to with the raccoon right above his head. In the last pic you can see the squirrel on the left and you can barely make out the raccoon sleeping in his perch on the right.
