Ugh.
Do those thangs just up and run (okay, slither) across the driveway on a regular basis? I only spy around my place a couple of times year, usually just the garter variety, I think. If they're too close to my front door, I'll come from around back and shoot them with a Super-Soaker until they skedaddle.
ha ha...Athena Oakley, saving the day.
Not regular, no -- the roadrunners have been busy this year killing off the young.
We do get those, and rattlers, often enough that I have to steer around them (and I do, snakes gotta make a living too) driving to work and whatnot.
The one I pictured, I pulled off to the side, stepped out, and kicked his tail a little, that got him scooting off'n the road.
