This is the second bull snake I've relocated. The first was desperately trying to eat a peacock egg. This one was simply near the barn and thus relocated. So in these pics I have an apple tree that is just riddled with ground squirrel holes underneath it. So we put this little bull snake in the hole and wished it good hunting!



Enjoy the rest of the parts of these pictures. The mini  krater growing trees. The lone surviving comfrey plant. The various plants that are starting to volunteer themselves there.

Heck...you are handling that snake..  Here in New Zealand we do not have snakes - nothing poisonous - Oh except for a supposed spider called a "Red Back" - very very rare and in my 72 years I have never seen one.

Ah that makes me sad for you! I love snakes! But we do have a venomous one in these parts so that's no fun.
