A-a-a-a-a-ah (screaming voice)

Not too excited with the latest addition to our zoo.
Yes, that is a Water Moccasin. We are putting a pool up for the summer so there is new water. Bill was walking out to the pool and I was following him. Suddenly, he screams, jumps 3 feet in the air all the while back pedaling as fast as he can. When he landed I said, "that had to be a snake scream." He said, "yeah, and it is a big one."

We followed it and tried to kill it but it was too fast. We are getting a snake pistol with big rat pellets to take care of this problem. This guy won't be back he was way too scared and slithered away very very fast. He had just smelled the fresh water and came to investigate. Hopefully, he is sending out the snake smoke signals and letting his friends know they are not welcome.
