Sleeping Dragon

Who knew this little sleepyhead could be such a crazy hunter?  Yesterday brought Snake #11 and I had enough.  I decided to lock Pickle outside during "hunting time" - late morning to early afternoon.  Well, it worked!  Today I was working upstairs and heard him try to come through the (locked) cat door.  I came downstairs and -- sure enough -- he had a lizard in his mouth.  I made him drop the lizard and then let him come inside.  He immediately ate some food and went upstairs to sleep.  Hopefully this will be a long term solution!  I will say... this whole experience has forced me to get over my fear of snakes a little bit.  I'm just glad I haven't had these same close encounters with my other biggest fear -- sharks!!
