Me: *squeeeee* "Ooo! Hi smol snek fren!"

Snake: "Put me down you fucking ape! I mean it, you piece of shit! Put me back on the ground right this fucking minute you asshole!"

Probably something like that, but it was mostly a very chill snake and curled up in my hand for a while.

Long nosed snake Rhinocheilus lecontei

Only the second snake I've seen this spring and this one right in my yard! I think it's because I was watering some plants in that area.

@Mikal  it’s a rhino-baby!

@Mikal adorable!

"well if you're not going to put me down I guess I'll just enjoy the warm"

@adrake
Yeah, I think that was basically it. It wriggled a little and then curled up nicely in my palm for a while before deciding that it wanted to go back to hunting or whatever it was doing.
@Mikal aw I love these. the subtle red scales makes a really unique pattern
@Mikal "put me down! put me — oooh warm hand. yeah, put me down or something?"
