A large terracotta planter made the perfect Easter basket, complete with quail eggs, for this little Gophersnake. The homeowner had been monitoring the eggs over the past few days and was surprised to find that the snake had made itself quite at home in the cool potting soil. I relocated the snake to a nearby packrat nest and as a show of good faith, offered it a delicious chocolate egg, which I ended up eating on the ride home. – Jason
