Wow, imagine finding that under your shed. My wife would have run a mile. But, you say he is friendly. Great capture hedgey, just love all the detail. You could keep him as a pet. lol.

Ooh!!! he's a big boy. We found one recently when we were moving the wood pile. He had actually made himself a little nest and was bedding down for the winter, we covered him back up and last time I checked he was still there. He has lived in the yard for quite some time now frightening the life out of me, I keep thinking he's a snake.
