i do not like snakes. i try to leave them be for the most part, unless i am being attacked, close to being attacked, or if they try to get my wife to eat the apple... then they die!

Yup, brown snake. I used to have one. They don't lay eggs, they are live-bearers. Cool and interesting little snakes
