Ragtag Daily Prompt Monday: Coil
One day I was taking my recycling to the old wool bale bags where I stored my recycling. Lifting the flap I found a small Red-naped Snake in a coil. This photo was first posted in October 2013.
Weakly venomous but considered harmless due to inoffensive nature and reluctance to bite. They grow to about 35cm and feed mainly on small skinks and are nocturnal. This one was happy to scoot away from my camera.

I’m glad you lived to tell the tale, otherwise we’d have been denied some great photos over the years. Like Becky, I would not have been happy to find him in my woodshed (had I one)!

I’m with Becky, I wouldn’t have been happy to find it. On second thought, I would then be like you and be HAPPY it waited until I had my camera to capture the photo! LOL!

It is around 50:50 that whatever it is stays until I can get a photo

I thought with the word coil, there would have to be at least one snake photoπ. This fellow posed rather nicely.

I love snake photos, and the colors and patterns on the snake work well with those on the bag.

I like the monochrome nature of this photo. BTW, your interview is great. You should reblog it. π
