We came upon this smallish, gray rat snake on our walk around the neighborhood. We thought at first it was just chilly ....
but, no, it was rigor mortis instead: dead instead.

Wait, if it's dead, how did it climb up a tree like it shows on the second picture? Anyway, poor rat snakes. They're one of my favorites because they're harmless. And they don't attack when threatened, they freeze! Source: ratsnake.org

Michael, that is actually a stick that B used to pick it up with.
Thanks for visiting Our Nature!
