We should've sent a Praying Mantis over. Bet he'd get the snake off the feeder for you!

Seriously! I just got off a thread about Mantises and posted two pictures. Soooo funny!

I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown

I don't even want to see how big the mantis might get after chowing down on a snake!

Hey all, Sorry, haven't been back in a while. I DID take the snake off the feeder and relocate it to the barn. It was a harmless little oak snake. They are so docile they don't even try to bite. I have always liked snakes too.
I have another picture of one of these snakes eating a mocking bird up in a oak tree. My husband came in the house and asked "what kind of snake catches birds out of trees?" I thought he was kidding..... Wish I could find that pic. I know it's somewhere on this computer.

"They are so docile they don't even try to bite." "....one of these snakes eating a mocking bird up in a oak tree."

If they are docile and don't even try to bite, then why was one eating a Mockingbird?
