Aha! There he is ... excellent camouflage is right, I thought it was a little branch!
I don't garden for this type of wildlife either! SNAKES! They really scare me, even the non-venomous ones. I know they have their place in nature, I just wish they would spend time in someone else's yard and not mine, LOL.
This was the largest yellow rat snake I'd ever seen ... last year in my backyard. It was after baby birds in a nest. And the snake skin I found on a plant in one of the flower beds.
