Hi again!
Help feed the hungry in Israel!
NOTE: the links in this paragraph will lead to pictures of snakes -- so if you are squeamish, don't click on them! This week we found this beauty in our back yard. It appeared to be dead, but we didn't know if it was a venomous variety or not, so we looked here and asked our local Maale Adummim chat-group for advice. Sarah and I still haven't decided between Spalerosophis diadema or Coluber nummifer. Any of you care to take a guess? The chat group response was that we should call the city, and they will come and take away the snake (as they are apparently also interested in knowing what kinds of reptiles are about). But when I called the city, they told me that if it was in a "private garden", e.g. not city property, they didnt' care and wouldn't send anyone. Fortunately, the thing was dead and I was able to dispose of it with no fuss... but yikes! I'm going to have to be doubly careful when gardening.
