Every morning the peeps and pups take a stroll around the back yard. As the rag-tag crew went by the pepper tree
they noticed something curious.
It was a harmless (to peeps and pups) king snake. Seeing that the pups would get breakfast after returning to the house, it was breakfast time all over.
The snake was polishing off a mouse. You can see the mouse’s hind claws not in the snake already. It didn’t take long to finish the job.
and the mouse was toast (without butter) and was nothing but a memory and a bulge in the snake. After the meal, the snake went up the tree.
Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door.

the mama screamed like a banshee… butt I don’t know why… because of the snake? or because of the mouse? …hope it wasn’t mickey… all kids would hate that poor snake…and disneyland can close…
If it were Mickey, Tinkerbelle wasn’t doing her job.
A snake is a very good mousetrap. Very good. I’m not a fan of snakes though. Just saying.
Have a fabulous day. Scritches to all the babies. ☺
So you would rather be overrun with mice?
All critters need to eat…even snakes,xx Speedy
and birds. Where’s MY breakfast?
Quite so your staff better hop to it….hehehe,xx Speedy
Well perhaps no butter but I bet the mouse was full of jelly. Yuk!!!!

You’re right. I’ll stick to my sunflower seeds.
Depending on which side of the table you’re on (plate or chair), it can be a very good day or the last one. Nature has is the great equalizer.
I’m thankful I wasn’t born a chicken.
Hmpph. Snake has a pretty high opinion of himself. Just who declared him King anyway? snorf, snorf.
I think it was Carolus Linnæus that declared him King.

That’s interesting. We don’t mind non venomous snakes–not that we want them around. We think even a rattler wouldn’t be able to bite with its mouth full.
At least that’s what rattler moms should teach their young.
Shudder. One question though…how are they with squirrels? 😉
No tree rats here so I wouldn’t know.
Maybe the snakes got ’em already.
Nature balances everything out but I would just as soon not see it. If I had to kill my own food I would be a vegetarian.
I certainly know. It’s sunflower seeds for me and the only animal matter I get is a random worm in one of those seeds.
Ew, there’s worms in sunflower seeds? Ew.
OH YES!!!! Where can I gets one of those??!! would welcome lots of those guys to gets the frickin’ roof rats that have been using our telephone lines and trees and their superhighway! Just thinkie about the feast they could have one one of those! High paw Mr. Snake!
Kisses,

Your bubble machine would scare them away.
Grossed out! I’m not a fan of snakes. I know that some of them are good, but I don’t want to see them. I did mow over one several years ago and i hired a lawn guy the next day.
Gave him the old buzzzzz cut!
Years ago on the farm, we had several snakes in the corn crib—for some reason never had to feed them them. Only problem was the barn rats were so big, the snake only had to feed about once a week. My old 22 rifle did the rest.
