Of course I picked him up. How could I not? He was just so darned cute. He did not find me cute, however. He immediately went on the defensive and showed me all his teeth (tiny though they were).
I admired him for a bit before putting him down. Too few snakes make it to adulthood -- they are so very vulnerable at this stage. Everything wants to eat them. I hope this little fellow makes it through.

Must be baby snake day.
He is gorgeous!
He's just adorable! I don't come across snakes very often! I'm not very good at picking them up:) as much as they fascinate me.
Awww! What a cutie!
He's a beauty, indeed! We had someone bring a baby massasauga here a week or so ago...I missed it, though (darn). I'm hoping more might come in - I'd like to see one alive (all but one so far this year have been brought in dead).
What amazing images !!!
A little quiet around here.
Yep, extremely quiet. I will have to resolve to do better in the new year!
Well, I might have argued that I don't love baby rat snakes, but jeez, those photos won me over. Great, funny shots! Love the big mouth & eyes.
