Quintessential blue,
Texas Indigo Snakes bite.
Oh, not poisonous!
*******************************
Poisonous or not! I'm afraid
of snakes no matter the hue.
Interesting fact, Texas Indigo Snakes eat
mice, birds, and rattlesnakes.
Thank you for reading!

I can't believe I missed this one but really great work 😊😊
I have a healthy respect for snakes and will hold pet ones. Those blue ones are so pretty and they eat rattlesnakes?? I'd consider them an ally lol. I had to remove a few different snakes from near the chicken run and my garden early last spring and I get nervous grabbing them when I don't know which kind they are as we do have some poisonous species here in VT, but it was a choice between leaving them out there near my children, the chickens and chicks while I went to get my phone to look them up, or just grab and toss them behind the fence.
Pretty poem, and I hate 'em too.
Whoaaa they even eat rattlesnakes? But gosh, they're soooo beautiful!
Like you Babs I am not much a fan of snakes. Although I do enjoy the visual of an exotic snake such as the Texas Indigo Snake.
This one is very clever Babs.
He's pretty.
40? Wow. Love the word Quintessential 🥰
Great work!!!!
