A Discovery In My Garden

I took this picture a few years ago.


A Discovery In My Garden

I thought of something yesterday I believe to be highly unusual.  This is something that happened months ago.  I was working out in my yard.  I walked over to the south side of my home to do something.  I picked up an empty pot and underneath was what I believed to be a pile of earthworms. 
It looked as though someone had emptied out a container of worms into a pile.  I'm still not sure if they were worms or snakes. 

A few days later I saw something that looked like a worm but the weather was hot and the ground was dry.  I noticed it moved more like a snake over the ground.  Then I immediately thought of the pile of worms I saw just a few days before.

Then again this past month or so I saw a baby guarder snake about eight to twelve inches long.  I've
seen guarder snakes in my yard on occasion throughout the years of living here.  It was the first time, however, that I saw a baby one.  So now I'm wondering if I have fifty baby guarder snakes in my yard.

I learned something about guarder snakes because of the discovery.  The eggs of the guarder snake hatch on the inside of the mother before she gives birth to them.  So I'm thinking I discovered them just after their birth.

I guess I will know more about it when spring and summer are here again.  Maybe there will be more to tell.
