A more friendly pet


Maybe this skink would make a better pet. It's non-toxic, and its hobbies include eating insects and lounging (pun intended) by the pool.

Another pet drops in for a visit.


Today this buzzard landed on the picnic table, then it decided the tree had a better view.

Can I Keep It?


I want to name it Carl or Coraline, depending on whether it's a boy or a girl. It's a Florida Coral Snake, over 3 feet long. It lives under our pool pump. It's reclusive, but it doesn't mind photos. It has the second deadliest venom in the U.S., next to the rattlesnake. (And the U.S. supply of anti-venom runs out in October, but it's ok if you don't mind having a machine do all your breathing for a week.)
Also, this one is quite fast when he wants to be, and he's tough enough to survive a direct hit from a shovel thrown at his head from point-blank range.
