Next General Meeting: June 12

By -
If you've got ideas or just strong feelings about what sort of landscaping, trees, foliage would do nicely in the Mauna Loa median, the next general meeting will be your moment to speak out. The community has a limited amount of grant money from the county to devote to beautification of the medians, and there will be an open discussion of what will look good, be easy to maintain, and difficult to kill.

Be there: Sarasota Baptist, Hand Rd. and Proctor, 7 p.m. June 12.

Water Moccasin or Water Snake?

At the Lakeview Park Clean-Up, some residents were picking up some branches of a tree when a dangerous Water Moccasin slithered out and dashed into the water. It might be useful to know one when you see it, but the differences between the venomous Florida Water Moccasin (or Cottonmouth) and the wholly harmless Water Snake can be subtle. Here are a few images and links that might help. First, here's a Water Moccasin Another shot of a Water Moccasin (click for a huge image): Here's the plain old harmless Florida Water Snake: Another clue (thanks Ray): When in water, Water Moccasins move on top of the water - almost as if they were gliding on the surface, like this: Water Moccasins are to be met with extreme caution.
