I had a visit from one of my pets in the camp- yard(click the pic for a close- up). This king snake was rather large… must have been 5 feet long. I felt safe getting up close for a picture, since he continued smiling as I crept in on him. He was a beautiful animal, sleek and shiny, with brilliant coloring; he must have recently shed… another evidence of the renewal of life in the springtime. I don’t know where that “Toby” name came from or what significance the name has, if any. My Dad used that name for snakes or snake skins around habitations: “there’s ol’ Toby.”
