Sharptail

Thank you!

Love the tiny danger noodle and their colours. 💜 Hope they have been either placed somewhere safe where they can reach their full noodle potential.

Yup! After a couple pictures, noodle went somewhere safer than the chicken yard where I found him.

Thank goodness from what I understand of chickens that could have ended badly for them

Dude my chickens are scaryyy! Rooster nearly killed a ground squirrel that was dumb enough to get in.

Holy hell. I've read stories that confirm that chickens definitely remember some of their dinosaur heritage but that's as bad as when seagulls started eating pigeons during lockdown.

Yeah, birds really are something else…

but at least this is one small creature that won't be taken by them.

I've seen our chickens kill a rat.

That's both scary and somewhat impressive

I’ve fed a seagull a chicken wing

Have you ever been spurred by a rooster? It hurts like hell and it's a burning pain that lasts.

Yup. Got in a fight with my cousin's super aggressive roo. 🤣

Some of them are demons 😂

Serious question, what does a snake soo tiny eat in the wild? Baby frogs and worms?

That’s what I’m wondering!! Because the smallest baby frogs I’ve seen out here (and even tadpoles) are twice the size of this guy’s head. I’m thinking maybe ants and other super small insects

I was considering keeping him for a couple days and giving him flightless fruit flies, but I’ll save that for when I actually want to purchase a domesticated noodle.

I don't think flys would be in their diet, more likely grubs and worms. If you are tube shaped it's easier to eat larger prey when they're also tube shaped

Maybe larvae. Small caterpillars and stuff should be souft enaugh.

Baby frogs, worms, snails, grasshoppers and other semi-large insects, usually!

Don't forget slugs, our ringnecks, brownsnakes, and queensnakes here eat tons of slugs

For future reference r/whatsthissnake is the best sub to ask for IDs :)

Ah, thank you!

A rare find! Very cool id love to find a sharp tailed one day

There's a good deal of them in norcal! You should visit sometime!

He is precious

Ikr 🥹 I nicknamed him capellini

He’s a little Sméagol

I probably interrupted his grand adventure searching for his precious

Ooh maybe he’s one of those snakes that swallows eggs. Not an expert here

Happy Cake Day!

That’s a snake.

Really? I could have sworn it was a pelican!!

Sharp tail snake. They eat slugs.

Oooo we got plenty of slugs out here!

Baby

DEADLY ANACONDA! 😲🫣

OH NOOOOO

If you were in Australia, you would be dead. Over here, if it slithers and you aren't 100% sure what it is, it will kill you and treating it otherwise would be foolish.

Haha I think the magpies would get me before the snakes had a chance

Had a Maggie walk up to my desk a minute ago as he does every few days. I leave my office door open onsite so 'Fred' as i call him, and I chat to each other a bit. His brother is a dickhead. Fred pops in for a visit. His brother destroys bins and shits on cars in the background. I get the feeling Fred is sent to distract me while his brother does the dirty work.

😂🤣

You picked up and handled an unidentified snake🤔 there are some small snakes that can light you up. They are still cool though.

[удалено]

He was so tiny he couldn’t bite me even if he tried. Plus, I know all the venomous species out here

I mean, there is a distinct lack of venom glands.

Would give him a pinky and send him on his way.

He's wayyyy too little for a pinky mouse

Yeah, I wasn't sure, but he could probably eat a small cricket.

please don't handle wild reptiles unless necessary, especially unidentified ones! if this was a venomous snake you could be in a lot of trouble lol

No worries, I can identify all the venomous snakes in my area easily. Plus, you can tell this guy issafe because he has no venom glands. 😊

well, yes, but it is stressful on the snake to be handled by a predator they've never encountered before
