Halli the Herpetologist

Today Halli unearthed a six-foot rat snake from underneath the downspout by the back door. It was curled into a multi-curved S and striking at her when I caught her and carried her into the house. Now she's running from door to window to door, whining and yelping and yodeling, wanting to get outside.

This is her third snake, and every one she finds is bigger than the last.
