On the sidewalk I saw a snake I didn't recognize. Gave it wide clearance. After searching online I learned it's an eastern milk snake. Harmless. Photo not mine.
@poemblaze it’s a mnemonic for knowing a lethal coral snake from an imposter.
“Red to yellow, kill a fellow. Red to black, venom lack.”
@MookyTroubadour 👍 No coral snakes around here. Only timber rattlesnakes around the Mississippi River bluffs and eastern copperheads.
@MookyTroubadour I haven't heard that cheery saying.
