Gartner Snake<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Funny story about the outdoors. \u00a0 \u00a0My wife and I were walking on a popular trail around our town. \u00a0I was behind her to let her pass a narrow portion when, out of the corner of my eye, \u00a0 I noticed a movement\u00a0by her foot. \u00a0Almost immediately and \u00a0 suddenly\u00a0something jumped and was coming at me in the air. Fortunately I move and it passes me by. \u00a0Not knowing what it was, my heart beat went up considerably, and then I notice what it was.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0know she would freak out, so I carefully and comely, I said, “watch out \/ look there is snake there”.. My wife, thinking I was joking, turns with what it seem a smile, and says: “Did it bite you?<\/strong>” \u00a0 \u00a0I then point at it and tell her she stepped on it… After she saw it and realized it was real, she looked at the soul of her shoe!! \u00a0(do not ask me why!)<\/p>\n

My heart still beating at double rate, the snake just laid there still.\u00a0 I took the picture. Then I begin to think, poor thing I probably scare it, and is recovering.\u00a0\u00a0 Wonder what type of snake is it.\u00a0 It seems very docile.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I go to Facebook, and I post the picture asking neighbors to identify the snake. Couple of the comments I got are funny:<\/p>\n

“It’s a garden snake, it can only hurt if you choke on it”.<\/p>\n

\u201cYep that is a garter snake. They are harmless! Fun to catch and keep as pets too! They just poop all over you when you try to do it\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

However I will never forget my wife\u2019s grin\/smile when she turned back at me. \u00a0(feeling loved)<\/p>\n

Looking back, now that I know the snake was harmless, \u00a0that moment was priceless!<\/p>\n
