Nice looking snake.

BTW, bonnet in SA, Aus, NZ & UK means hood, the bit of your car that covers the engine.

OK, I could understand her panic if the snake had been inside her car, but for pete's sake, the darned thing was on the windshield! What was it gonna do, break a fang on the glass? Crimus.

Usually, Dave, I just get bees in there.

Bees in your bonnet, TooDees? and you say you're not a pedant.

It does make a pretty cool windshield wiper.

I saw a rattlesnack wrapped around the bumper of an SUV last summer. The guy had his window open and it was slithering towards his arm that was dangling out the window. We were all blowing our horns at him and he, of course, gave us the finger. Then a highway patrolman stopped him and knocked the snake off the bumper. He didn't give us the finger anymore.

Did you mean windsheild viper, Sio?

She panics, weaves across traffic, but at least was calm enough to snap off a focused photograph of the beast.

Sherly, I'm sure she meant a vindshield viper. No?

Meanie, I swear your post wasn't there when I posted mine!

It's OK, Diva. It wasn't there when I posted mine either.

"We get the odd adder but nothing like this."
So, she's used to "odd adders" (yeah, I know, WBAGNFAn Alliterative RB...), but freaks out over a corn snake??? Adders are venomous, corn snakes aren't, ... HUH?

I reached into the water valve box to turn off my house water last Saturday. I think I scared that snake half to death.
