Came home yesterday to find these two guys in a plastic "critter keeper". Jake found babies - couldn't have been more than four inches long - and put them in the keeper. Jake used his head, not knowing what whether they were poisonous or not, he used my wooden tongs from Pampered Chef - you know the ones you can use in the toaster to get your bagel out if it is stuck - and picked them up with the tongs.
After consulting the Reader's Digest Animals of North America - and my venomous Animals and Plants guide, we determined, they were harmless and needed to be released.We let them go in the front yard so that Matilda wouldn't eat them.
