another day, another creature in my back yard

[AzCivic]

so i'm sitting inside on the couch with the patio door open so our cat can come in if it wants and i hear this weird noise. at first i thought it was those cicada bug things, but i go out and check anyway and there i see my damn cat w/ in a few feet of the snake thats rattlin' away. so i yelled at the damn cat and threw what i had in my hand at the snake(a wadded up paper towel) which made the cat jump back and run inside. then i started taking pics.






I thought about putting my new shotgun to good use, but I still felt bad about the tarantula slaying so i called a snake catcher.


pay no attention to my crappy back yard, its still how the previous owners left it, i keep saying i'm gonna get it landscaped...someday.
