Snake!

Today Hannah caught a snake. She threw it into a bucket using a stick. It was pretty aggressive when it first got caught, but a few hours later we were able to hold it. Evie only got bit twice :-)

Here he is, his name is Grasshopper

If you click this photo to enlarge it you can see his open mouth. He was also "jumping" as the kids called it, up at us. This is shortly after Hannah caught him. 

Evie really enjoyed holding him and liked the way he felt. She now wants a pet snake

This is the knot he got himself into when I was holding him.
