Red and yellow, kill a fellow.
Red and black,
friend of Jack.
We went out to the
World Birding Center on South Padre Island this morning. We only have one
more week here at Laguna so this was probably our last trip to the Island
before leaving for Central Texas next Saturday.
There were some folks from the Gladys
Porter Zoo set up inside. They had a couple of Texas Tortoise, a tarantula,
and a couple of snakes.
We used to have coral snakes at our place in Elgin and every time I saw one I would think "Red and yellow ..."
Mark got to hold this very striking milk snake. It had just shed its skin the night before and was very shiny.
You can definitely see it's "Red and
black ..."

The only time I "ran into" a coral snake was when we were volunteering at Santa Ana.... thank goodness it was so small that it could never have grabbed a hold of.. let along penetrated... the boots I was wearing. I've had the nasty experience of a copperhead bite... sure don't need any other!
