    Went looking for a snake and found this...

    He was hopping right outside our kitchen door. We have a lot of wild traffic just outside our house. Though I didn't find a snake, this guy is one of the cuter toads I've seen around here. The pictures don't quite do him justice. His back was yellow/orange/tan and his legs were green with black stripes. Some kind of leopard-leg toad??? I have no idea.

    Figures. We don't have anything too exotic around here no matter how much I keep hoping. But we do have foot-long worms! I call them the "scaleless earth-snake." I looked up worms and found out that there are some (ELSEWHERE, of course) that get up to 3'!

    Cool! I love toads. My husband brought one home that he almost ran over (let it go in the garden.).. Looks like a nice American toad.

    Did you ever find your king snake? Was your mom freaked out that he escaped?
