@Northwest lol. I know what I'm doing. I'm 120 miles from the nearest Vet and they are closed today. I'm in a desert wide open for hundreds of miles. There is no exterminator for the wilderness
@REMsleep My understanding of snakes, is that they don't bite just for the hell of it, only when threatened. The dog might have spooked it, but the bird would have been a prey, and the snake would have swallowed it, and then gone off to digest.
