Snakes love to lurk in narrow passages, and the little spaces in between stones present the perfect opportunity to burrow.  
</div>
<div class=pull-right>
Змеи любят прятаться в узких проходах, и небольшие промежутки между камнями дают прекрасную возможность зарыться в землю.

<div class=pull-left>
This low wall is right next to a well-trodden stone walkway, by which I mean that lots of critters like to use it: me, my cats, and toads.  I found out that the wall was home to a snake when it darted out to catch a toad.  I didn't have my camera with me at the time, and in any event, I was more concerned with getting the toad out of the snake's mouth - not to save the toad, but to save the snake.  Toads have poison glands behind their heads, and snakes have been known to die from that poison, with the toad still in its mouth.  This particular toad was also way too big for the snake to eat, it couldn't even get one leg down its throat, and the toad was starting to drag the snake out of its burrow.
</div>
<div class=pull-right>
Эта низкая стена находится прямо рядом с хорошо протоптанной каменной дорожкой, в смысле многие твари любят его использовать: я, мои кошки, и жабы.  Я узнал, что стена была домом для змеи, когда она выскочила, чтобы поймать жабу.  В этот момент, у меня был нет фотоаппарата, и в любом случае, меня больше заботило, как вытащить жабу из рта змеи - не для того, чтобы спасти жабу, а чтобы спасти змею.  У жаб есть ядовитые сальника, позади их головами, и известно, что змеи умирают от этого яда, когда жаба все ещё находится у них во рту.  Эта конкретная жаба также была слишком большой для змеи, чтобы съесть, она дажё не мог засунуть одну ногу себе в глотку, и жаба начала вытаскивать змею из норы.

<div class=pull-left>
The snake retreated, presumably to sulk, after I removed the toad from its mouth, but it eventually slithered back out of its burrow, allowing me to take some pictures.  This sneaky little fellow is an eastern garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis), which is the most common type where I live.  They vary in colour quite a bit, and their namesake stripe isn't always prominent.
</div>
<div class=pull-right>
Змея отступила, вероятно, чтобы дуться, после того, как я вынул жабу из рта, но в конце концов она выскользнул из своей норы, позволив мне сделать несколько фотографий.  Этот подлый малышка - восточная подвязочная змея (Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis), который это самый обычный род, где я живу.  Они довольно сильно различаются по цвету, и их одноименная полоса не всегда заметна.
</div>

<div class=pull-left>
I like to keep snakes around, because they eat small pests such as slugs and mice.  My cats also love to play with them.  Perhaps I'll be able to show you that in the near future.  My cats are funny, especially Hunter Kira, the "killer cat."  
</div>
<div class=pull-right>
Мне нравится держать змей рядом, потому что они едят мелких вредителей, таких как слизняки и мыши.  Мои кошки тоже любят играть с ними, и возможно, я смогу показать вам это в ближайшем будущем.  Мои кошки смешные, особенно Охотница Кира, "убийца-кошка."

Not sure if you are brave, have a huge heart or are crazy -- maybe a bit of all! 

For your courageous and successful act of heroism, I applaud you!👏 

I've never heard of anyone who took time to remove a toad from a garter snake's mouth until you! @steampunkkaja💪🐸🐍

Thanks, I think it's a bit of all three.  I'm definitely crazy - Russians are crazy by default.

Wow! That snake is big. I applaud you for taking the toad out of the snake’s mouth. Snakes do have their role in nature and keeping pests out of the garden. I have a snake phobia and run screaming the other way if I see one, even a harmless garter snake. 

I think you could use a !BEER after that rescue. :)
