So imagine my frame of mind when - in the middle of semi-huge crisis at work- I look down at my phone to see that I have 8 text messages and 4 missed calls from my husband, followed by these delightful pictures filling my screen! I almost dropped my phone. He found this cute little gem right outside of our garage a few evenings ago. He called the animal services unit and described the snake, and they confirmed what we thought, that it was a California king snake. EEEK! She went on to IMPLORE us that if we see it again, or another one, that we should just leave them alone because they are harmless, they eat rodents, and are indigenous to northern California and this is THEIR territory. He didn't mention that he bludgeoned this one to death with the end of a broom as it was making it's way across our carport towards the garage, which is decidedly OUR territory....
