Slithery Snakes & Skins

Snakes are a part of life on the ranch.

This lumpy fellow crossed our path as we headed out to trim trails.

And they're not just on the ground either.  

Rat snakes are good climbers.

 

This tiny garter snake was in the berry patch. 

He's not much bigger than the dandelion leaves he's hiding in.

 

And, they like to swim too.

 

This snakeskin found in the barn is 53" long.
