Visiting with the neighbors: 4 '15

18" snake skin hanging from our brick facing
Sometimes the upside of living in the South is all of the wildlife we get to see up close and personal on a daily basis ;  and sometimes the downside of living in the South  is all of the wildlife we get to see up close and personal on a daily basis.  A neighbor called me to tell me she saw a snake crawling out of the brick facing  of our building.  When I went to investigate, all that remained to be seen was the skin shed.  From her description the snake was probably a Black Racer ( harmless to humans and helpful in keeping the rodent population in check).  Just the same, its a bit creepy thinking about having snakes slithering around  between our walls.
