Oh, good heavens! They FLY now too???!!! grin


Actually Todd, yes there is a species of snake that "flies" from tree to tree! It "cups" the bottom of it's body and slithers thru the air from one tree to another.

I've seen those Blue Racers in the woods behind the house here. It was slightly unsettling to walk upon a 3'+ long snake, try to get closer for a better look and find oneself backpedalling away from it because it wants a better look at you! Those hog nose snakes are in this area as well, if you poke at them long enough they'll puff up and roll over, playing dead just like a 'possum.

Since Todd is the next recipient of the travelling lures, I might just slip an Arbogast Wheedler in the box and listen to see if I can hear him scream when he opens the box! grin
