Oz!
I can’t believe after our discussion of snakes that I came home from my Memorial Day Picnic outing to find a black snake (Elaphe obsoleta ) on my front lawn!
He created some excitement to say the least. It was about 5-6 feet long but rather small around.
I was certain he wasn’t dangerous, as we have [...]

you would think a news reporter would get their facts straight
cobras are not poisonous, in fact i don’t know of any poisonous snakes
