The ringneck snake

On Saturday, my dad was lifting up a tarp in our backyard and he saw a tail go under a hose. He yelled for me, "Riley there's a snake out here!" I ran out the door to the shed in the side yard. I looked at the snake and I saw that it was a ringneck. I grabbed the snake. I ran to the front yard and showed it to my brother and sisters and mom. We looked it up in my reptile and amphibian book to see what it eats and to check if it was poisonous. I was pretty sure that it wasn't poisonous, but just to check. The snake sprayed something that stunk on my hand. I think it was trying to protect itself from me because it didn't want me to harm it. Right after I caught the snake, my brother, Luke, caught a treefrog. We got a picture of both the snake and the treefrog together. They were facing each other. It looked awesome because of their colors and they were looking straight at each other. It looks like the snake was thinking about eating the frog. After we took pictures of them, we let them go under the storage building. I hope I catch the ringneck again.

PS. This was right before Luke cut his foot on the boardwalk. I'm saving that story for next time.
