is it the heat or am I just getting blase about venomous animals in my house? [View all]

saw a lovely little coral snake go onto the side porch (which is open to the kitchen), just now as I was walking out with a plate of food to eat outside. I was barefoot but I just stepped over it and said to the husband, "watch out there is a coral snake in the door way." his response was to try and take a picture of it with his cell phone, but it was too dark.

neither one of us felt like trying to get it out of the porch.

maybe it will eat the scorpion that managed to get away after it stung BOTH my sons after it went for a swim with them the other day.
