Beautiful...........by deadly! I'm guessing that you stay well clear of these ones Ronald.

A excellent photo!

Mostly I worry about Branco getting tangled up with one of these. I suspect my old dog Asker Garip ran afoul of some sort of snake.

I'm guessing that most dogs would be wary of something like that...........but I can see how it would worry you!

Great shot. But I have to admit I have something of a phobia about snakes, not sure I would deal well with one near the house.

Thank you very much, Andrew. Mainly I worry about my dogs being bitten by one of these.

Eine interessante Schlange. Giftig?

Ronald Losure replied to sunlight:

Danke schön, Ingrid. Ja, sie sind giftig, aber nicht aggressiv. Ich hoffe vor allem, dass die Hunde nicht versuchen, einen zu fangen.

Wow! I have never known anyone encountering one near their home, or anywhere else.

This photo was taken on our patio, right by the front door. Mainly, I hope the dogs don't try to catch one. Thanks for the visit, Dörthe, and sorry for the late response.
