Snake Snared...
I found this snake caught in a spider's web, writhing and twisting and not able to escape.Attached to his tail was
what looked like a reddish spider wrapped in silk and debris. It wasn't moving, but whatever it was, it had a firm grip on his tail. It took a steady pull to get his tail loose, but he seemed unharmed. Perhaps the thrashing wrapped the spider in its own web, and the jaws of the spider could grip but not pierce the scales.
In any event, he's a happier snake now, free to roam the backyard.
