Found this little eastern worm snake adrift at “sea” on my pool thermometer and airlifted it to shore. It must have entered fight, flight, or freeze mode, poor thing, because it was a good 10 minutes before it departed its makeshift raft.
PS, I do have escape platforms for critters in the pool but the dumdums never seem to use them. Then again, I’m obviously not getting to meet the ones that did find and use them.
PPS, I can’t get over how teeny this little one is! I’m experiencing some acute cute aggression!
You’re assuming I know something about grass but in fact I don’t, which is where half of my error margins comes from.
