What was in the goat stall?

A snake!  I actually saw this guy (well I think it is the same one, he was smaller back then) around 2 weeks ago in a goat stall.  On trying to get him out he went down a mouse hole.  I thought he left but there he was. So I tried again to get him out. I didn't want to grab him.   Oh my!  Do snakes stink if you touch them!  So I shooed him towards the door.   Success!  But then he went though the fence in with the does. Aah!  I quickly hopped over the fence to protect him and swoosh he was back in with the doelings. Before I could repeat my fence hopping, he was a slithering off with 2 inquisitive doelings following him. Then of course he went down another hole.  So we just might see him again.
