Experience

There are things that I have learned in my life that have helped me today.   One would be the ability to catch and hold snakes.    I was raised by a canal, so there were snakes and frogs by the handful.
Yesterday all of that experience helped my boys catch their very first gartner snake.  (garden snake)
Spencer spotted him, Cam helped me catch him so he is officially both boys pet.    Spencer named him Snake.  Syd named him Alex.
We put him in a storage container.   I caught an earthworm for his dinner.   He may visit Syd's school tomorrow and then we are going to let him go back in to the wilds of our backyard.  :)
