Third Snake of the Season

I've been getting in touch with my inner landscaper lately (read: trimming bushes), and when my cutie pie hubbers was cleaning up the branches today (nine years of living in this house and not one trimming! Whew!), he found this little fellow. Wormsnake got a little freaked out with all his attention, and wriggled up into this little ball with his head tucked in. I'm just going to go ahead and say it (sit down): I felt a little sorry for him.

He did NOT meet the same bitter end as his buddy of a week ago.
