Well, just when you've thought you've seen everything in the wild, you see something new...My daughter called and said there was a snake in a web...She's had a lot of problems with rattlesnakes ever since they moved to their new house in VC...So, I drive over to see it...Sure enough there's a tiny little snake caught up in a web and a big black widow is right on it...The snake was not a rattler, but a baby gopher snake...I didn't realize the poison of a widow was this powerful...Damn!
