On The Hunt

Snake, Reptile

Keep your eyes open.  It’s snake season. This is a harmless, Western Fox Snake found slithering through the woodlands of northeast Wisconsin.

We were out on a springtime, family hike in search for morel mushrooms. My wife – an avid mushroom hunter – was the first one to spot this beauty. The snake was kind enough to rest quietly while I snapped a few shots.

As I said, these snakes are harmless to humans. They prefer to dine on mice and other small rodents. These snakes can seem fairly bold and don’t mind getting close to other animals and humans if undisturbed. When confronted, they will ‘rattle’ their tail to imitate a rattlesnake and attempt to scare away a perceived threat. They will also go into the S position and rapidly lunge in your direction. These are all defensive maneuvers in an effort to scare you off so they can escape.

One of the interesting details of this image is found on the lower lip of the snake. (That is, if snakes had lips.) You have to look closely, very closely, to see an ant going along for a ride. Zoom in as far as your monitor will let you and you may be able to see it.  Not sure what the ant is doing there, but I thought it was interesting.

I’ve taken photos of this breed before, in my own yard.  Get a real close-up view from my image, “Forked Tongue.”
