Night Time Predator
My son came home after dark this evening. I took him outside (in the dark)  to show him my newest bloomer when I spotted this night time predator. He kept moving about because he didn't like the flash from my camera. |

Me too. He has an appetite for frogs and lizards too and my yard is full of them. I saw a black racer in the yard the other day, but he was in a hurry and I didn't get to the camera in time to capture his photo. |

That is a corn snake, also known as a red rat snake, Elaphe guttata is it's scientific name. I have one as a pet now, and I've had a few over the years. They do like to eat mice and rats, so be very nice to it.

I didn't have a clue what kind of snake that is. He sure is colorful! I wouldn't want him climbing up my arm but if he's a good snake, I'd be glad to have him around.
