Me: Look at all these cute little noodles! 😍

An ophidiophobe: Argh!!! 😨

Living in Australia means you might have to accept coming across a snake or two on your property at some point. But one Sydney homeowner got more than he bargained for when a snake catcher unearthed 102 of the slithery reptiles hiding in his garden.

David Stein had spotted a few snakes in a pile of mulch in his backyard in suburban Sydney and called Reptile Relocation Sydney to take a look.

By the time snake catcher Dylan Cooper had finished digging through the mulch, he’d recovered a total of 102 snakes - five adults and 97 newborns, Reptile Relocation Sydney owner Cory Kerewaro told CNN on Thursday.

Red-bellied black snakes are a kind of venomous snake, and the females are known to congregate to give birth, said Kerewaro.

Red bellied black snake is the snek that snek Crowley was designed after, it seems that he was busy :D <3

A baby rattle snake following its mommy ❤️

Definitions of parental behavior differ, but Shine points out that mother snakes seem to go to some trouble for their offspring. For instance, python moms will often stay coiled around their pile of eggs for about 2 months, even though they haven’t had anything to eat for 6 or 7 months. At first glance, it might seem hopeless for a cold-blooded animal to try to incubate its eggs. When the temperature drops sufficiently, though, the python shivers, thereby warming the clutch with heat derived from muscle activity. Many rattlesnakes and their pit viper cousins don’t lay eggs but instead give birth to ready-to-wriggle offspring. Back in the Chiricahua foothills of Arizona, the black-tailed rattler mother that so excited Hardy and Greene stayed near her youngsters and the sheltering rocks of the birth site for more than 9 days. The scenes that the researchers described in 2002 might apply as well to a mother dog and her pups. On day 4 after the birth, Hardy observed superfemale 21 near the birth site as five of her newborns crawled around. They had worked their way out of the shelter’s entrance, over the mother’s body, and a little way into the surrounding grass. An hour later, several youngsters had piled on top of her. When one wriggled over her head, she tolerantly rearranged her coils. Thus, the days went by with the family basking just outside its rocky den. About 9 days after birth, the little snakes shed their skins as their mother watched from a few inches away. The youngsters then disappeared, presumably crawling off on their own. Greene and Hardy’s detailed monitoring of black-tailed rattler life had convinced them that the females typically don’t eat during winter hibernation or the spring pregnancies that follow. Greene paints a heroic picture of the mother, who further delays her return to hunting. “She hasn’t eaten for about 10 months, but she stays around for 10 more days,” he says. He and Hardy have since observed similar behavior in several females.

Worm baby I love how calm and sweet you are but I'm not loving seeing all of your organs and blood vessels through your translucent skin. Please grow big and strong!

...and opaque.

Snake on a swing?

Boo won 4th place in a local Valentine’s Day photo contest and part of her prize was a gift card to a pet store. My toddler insisted that Boo needed a swing. I was skeptical, but went for it. Boo uses this swing almost every day.
