This isn't something that we see every day. And this isn't the actual picture of the critter we saw, as no one had the foresight to bring a camera to breakfast.
The other day, while taking the path up to the rancho where breakfast is served, Darling and Patricia pointed out a baby boa constrictor that was wrapped around a branch, right above everyone's heads as we walk up to the rancho. Now, for you nervous types, this critter was hanging above the area where Lucy and I walk, along with the other folks who work here. The guests come to the rancho from a different place.
Anyway, considering my phobia regarding snakes, it took a while for me to be able to see the bugger; though in all honesty it was very difficult to tell it apart form the twig it was wrapped around.
Boas do not have venom; rather they wrap up their prey. And this little critter was in no danger of wrapping up even Mini-B. It was pretty neat to check it out hanging about 12 inches above most people's heads close to where everyone was eating breakfast.
