This time of the year especially you have to be sure to look before you reach (or step). In this case it was just a harmless ribbon #snake in the #garden hose pot (maybe it thought the striped hose was its big brother?) but there are also a lot of venomous snakes around here.

So pretty. They look a lot like our native garter snakes here.
We had 6 black racers on our back patio yesterday afternoon. One of them must have been a female.

That is an interesting looking creature, thanks for sharing.
(When you say there's a lot of them around here, it could be helpful to say where 'here' is https://mastodon.nz/@rogerparkinson/114277328115674770 )
Can we please try and identify where we are posting from? I see posts about massive rainfall today (and it's raining heavily where I am: Auckland, Aotearoa/New Zealand), but it turns out there's an atmospheric river in the USA. Flags in your display name help, or maybe just say. Sometimes I see political posts about USA, UK or Australia and think: huh? Then I realise it's not here (but it almost could be...). There are lots of people here from lots of countries. Context is so helpful.
