The snake in my house was years ago, and was black...
And we can do better than that on the naming, no? So far Scarlet as in Ribbons is the most mudcatty... I'm trying to think of other folk songs either about snakes, or ribbons... or crawdads, for that matter, in case it really is a Georgian? We got songs about Georgia? I can think of my favorite about swamps in Florida, being that Running Like A Dog In The Everglades... maybe I should call it Kingston.
