"It's too cold for many snakes to be out..." (04/27) 
"Oh, this cold snap will run them back in..."(04/29)

Ok people, snakes are out in Missouri. And if you have lived here more than five minutes, and say they are not, well, you're just special I guess. 

"Good morning Gila. How are you? Me? Just hanging out here, eight-foot off-the-ground in the canopy, just a few feet from the window beneath which you sleep, waiting on the sunshine to commence." - Snake

Happy Spring!!
