I’m going to vote for the Northern Brown Snake (harmless), which is more than we can say for you by the looks of things!

I’d pay particular attention to the top 3

I’m glad it was you that found it and not me. I, too, have a bad case of Ophidiophobia (you taught me a new word) although there is one time in my life I DID hold a snake at a nature center so that Peter and Bradley would NOT have that fear. By the time Andrew and Stephanie came a long, it was up to their big brothers to make sure they didn’t have that fear (although I didn’t tell them that).

Mom B., that is very true. Having gained a bit of perspective, the lizards by your house almost seem cute and cuddly now.

And pcg, I’m assuming you meant it “Garter Could-Kill-You-In-Less-Than-3-Seconds Snake,” right!? Ahem.

Man, there’s hardly enough left to identify. Did you take the “death by a thousand garden hoe swipes” approach?!

In an attempt to be helpful, I’ll say “garter snake”. But I have no idea; that’s just what I always guess when I see a snake about that size.

All I can say is that it is bigger than anything you ever encountered outside of our house.

I should really do a better job keeping the 2 of you straight.

Hey Topherone,

RSS feeds are nice that way, eh?

I dropped a hint about this a few months ago as a way of sharing the news. In fact, it looks like an imposter must have commented under your name!?!

Heh, seriously though, thanks. Glad to know you approve of the name.

I didn’t even know there was a new one coming, but when your usually quiet flickr feed suddenly had more than a hundred new pictures, mostly of a new baby, I got the picture.

Elise is my eldest’s middle name.

Congrats.
