Snakes Alive!
So, this is our little chap (well he's about 2ft long actually) who lives in the (what will be a) flowerbed just outside the house. We call him Pliskin (after Snake Pliskin in Escape from New York).
Dexter has tried to snaffle him a few times and Starsky has also had a go. But Pliskin keeps soldiering on.
Funny fact, Duncan has been pooed on twice by snakes now! Serves him right for picking them up…
And in case you were wondering this is a Garter Snake – non-poisonous (no poisonous snakes in BC) and very good for your garden eating slugs and the like!
