I don't know if you went to my web site and saw the photo of the Sinaloan Milk Snake and the California Kingsnake on the cross, but if you haven't you should do so, it's on the articles page.

When I wrote the article for Reptiles Magazine they asked that I show a photo of the snakes that were involved so I had this strange idea to take the two snakes to the local cemetary. Since I had named the Sinaloan Milk Snake Lazarus I thought it would be kind of cool to find a toombstone at a cemetary with a cross on it to show the two snakes draped over it.

So there I was at this Cemetary with my four year old son draping these two snakes over someone's toombstone. As I was taking the photos a San Jose Policeman drove by in his patrol car. He stopped for a few seconds and watched while I snapped a few more photos of these two snakes. Before I could even think what this must have looked like to the officer he got out of his car and ran to where I was. It was obvious that he was very upset. He finally stood in front of me with a very angry voice and asked "WHAT IN THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING". I paused for a seccond wondering how could I defuse the situation then just blurted out. Well you see officer this snake here ate this snake, I gave the snake that was eaten mouth to mouth resuscitation and revived it. Ive written an article for Reptiles Magazine and they have asked for a photograph of the two snakes. Since I named the snake I saved Lazarus I thought it would be kind of cool to find a toombstone with a cross on it as a back drop for the photos. After I had explained myself he was speechless. Then out of the blue he said WOW!!! that is a really cool. He then told me that he thought I was some kind of religious fanatic doing a snake chant. As he left I heard him say wait till I tell the guys at the station about this one.

I wanted to let you know that our church will be praying for Lexie tomorrow. I hope she's doing well.

She's sure a cuttie.
