So I'm sitting pondside sorting through a delayed shipment of trapdoor snails, and I look up and see this little guy chilling out on a pad.

And a snap of our newest plant addition, only moments later I found a SNAKE hanging out in the bottom of the plant! I scooped it out, but it was too squirmy to sit still for photographs!

Koi unfortunately are nibblers if they have nothing to nibble constantly then they will suffer.
