Traci's New Friend, Pet

This is Fred. During all the rains last week, he crawled, or slithered up into my Cowboy boot bird house. I was out looking at my new baskets and he scared the be-jesus out of me. He was so still, I thought he was dead, but no, he's alive and well. and what a poser!! I think I've seen him on TV (geico ads), so I have the famous amphibian living in my boot in the back yard!! :-0
