| Ring neck snake, caught in a jar and not killed, later released |
That may not sound like a big deal to you, but in the past my opinion was that the only good snake is a dead one. I would quickly clobber them with a shovel or hoe, sending my son crying. I have a tender heart toward animals . . . and children. Therefore, I started to examine my evil ways. In the midst of learning to trust more, and abandon fear, while clearing leaf litter one day, I spied the familiar coiled . . . uhm, creature. Instead of doing my snake dance and screaming, I actually calmly asked Josiah to bring me a jar. He was so excited. With some help, we got our specimen into it's container. We observed it and researched it, finding it to be a harmless ring neck snake, which we released back into the yard. Another fear faced head on.
