Apparently not. I had to fiddle with this guy--I was just too curious--and he bit me. Luckily he is not venomous--it's just a Western Fox Snake, but he drew blood. Anyway, we found him eating baby robins out of a nest. The upset parents drew our attention with the racket they were making. It didn't stop him--30 minutes later he slid off with 4 lumps in his stomach. Nature at work.

I guess he showed you! Nice photo...he looks a little testy.

Jeff,
That is an outstanding picture.
Sorry about the bite.
I've been bitten several times myself.
