Take a Picture Posts: 12842	Here is a new twist. I was putting potting soil into some large pots, shaking it out vigorously. As I emptied out the last bag a huge snake fell out. Yes, you read that right SNAKE. Since I was up close and personal I could see that it was a water moccasin. I was behind the table on my deck and had nowhere to go. Fortunately, he wasn't too hacked off and went over the side of the deck. Moral here is that you need to be more careful about the dirt in your pots than the dirt at the barrel race.

It fell out of the last bag of potting soil that I dumped into the pot. Scared the crap out of me but what is worse, he is hanging around the house somewhere. I get up at 5:30 to feed every morning. (in the dark) I have found my headlight!!!!
