Description

I took Bodie for a long walk this morning and when I went down the alley, this snake was not there. on returning I seen it. Bodie never noticed it. I thought maybe it was dead so I tossed a twig close to it's head and it moved a little. after taking Bodie in the yard, I returned but it was gone. about 6 weeks ago, something bit Bodie on his foot leaving two openings like the fangs of a small snake. it is strange that they would be seen here as they tend to be in South West Texas, New Mexico , and Mexico. maybe it was a pet and was released or escaped. Bodie licked his foot for many days, but with medicine it is almost gone. obvious the snake is providing a method of killing mice/rats. I did not harm it

In a way, snakes are good at pest control. Going after your pooch is another story altogether, obviously.

His design looks great though. Would like to see this used as a humanoid texture.

This one had already eaten apparently, if he bit Bodie it was probably to defend him because he must have been afraid of Bodie

Pest control is a big issue, Richard. You were so right to leave the snake alone for many reasons, most importantly, it might have a Mother, or a mate close by who might see fit to bite you!
