Yesterday, Elena's nanny, Dalitt, found this dead coral snake in the yard--right where the children usually play. These deadly snakes (""Red on black, venom lack. Red on yellow, deadly fellow." ") are rarely seen in yards, though they are relatively common in South Texas. According to Wikepedia, they are shy, usually nocturnal, and tend to be found under logs and in leaves on the ground.
Apparently, a member of the Pritchett menagerie (two dogs, a cat, a bunch of chickens) took it upon itself to stop this one in his tracks.
Chickens kill snakes, Will said.
Who knew?
This batch of chickens was an Easter present from Elena and Nathan's Papi. Now they are big and each one has a name--like Addison and his mother Joey.
