    Talking The SPCA called me

    Our local SPCA called me today cause they needed help with a snake rescue. Acually they couldn't even do the call themselves. Just by word of mouth they heard I had snakes so they looked me up and called and asked if I would be interested in going on a call for them. Of coarse I didn't turn them down. The call was from a lady who said a snake fell out of a tree and climbed into her cars engine. I got there and there it was stuffed tightly in between the engine and the transmission. Well after about 45 min of poking and a couple squirts of water the snake finally gave up and came out. It turned out to be a 4ft Texas Rat Snake. Man I was so freakin excited about this. Not that I caught the darn thing, but that the SPCA called me to do a call for them. With all the excitement I forgot to take a picture before releasing him back into the woods. Now that the SPCA knows who I am now I'm sure to get more snake calls from them in the future cause they said they hate going on snake calls. Man what a great day. I feel good.

    Oh that is excellent. Perhaps you can encourage them to do some in service on snakes if they are that reluctant to go on snake calls (you can't always be available). Glad to hear the snake is back where it should be, good job!
