Default I got a surprise with my potted mini-rose

Part of me wonders if it really found its way out of that mini-rose pot,
or if it got in some other way!?


if it is one of those dark/black plastic potted
types with holes in the bottom those can easily
attract small snakes as a home considering they
are often warmer and have gaps in the bottom where
they can hide.

closer inspection of the pot may give clues...

It is a terra cotta colored plastic pot with holes in the bottom, and
that plastic pot is sitting inside a metal decorative container that has
no holes.

Geez ... I've purchased similar flowers dozens of times and never ended
up with a baby snake. Now, I'll have to check every one I want to buy
for snakes!
