Murderous Feind

Or loyal protector??

Jasmin tries her best to keep this farm free of dangerous creatures.

You know, like squirrels, mice, birds and the like.

I am not sure how she catches them, but she does.  The other night she came trotting out of the chicken coop with this in her mouth.

She eats at least one bird a day, sometimes more.   She catches both adult and baby birds.  Mostly by patiently waiting.  And waiting and waiting.

Last night she killed this snake. It was huge.  At least 3 feet long and much thicker than my thumb. 

She just pounced and then shook it like crazy.  It's kind of freaky to watch.  I think that this snake is some sort of Racer snake.  Here is a link.  http://www.reptilesofaz.org/Snakes-Subpages/h-c-constrictor.html  What do you think?
