And I wasn't even out looking. About to open the front door coming home from work tonight. Happened to looked at a flower bed I am working on and there he was. A little Rat Snake. I ran in and grabbed my 5gal critter cage and coaxed him in, didn't try to handle him. I'm guessing will be a year old this year? About 8" or so long. Haven't decided if I'm going to keep him or not. I got him set up with a water dish and hide for now.
