How many times have we had to clean out mouse nests behind blower housings? 1 hour ago, 19richie66 said: I'll take a black rat snake any day over one of these. Almost stepped on this one walking to my shed. Still gives me the eebie jeebies thinking about it. Everything looked like a snake for months. Im not sure if a rat snake will eat a rattler,cottonmouth or copperhead, but a kingsnake will. I think racers will to. Im in the woods alot with my dog and im glad there are no poisonous snakes in my region. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
19richie66 16,824 #27 Posted July 29, 2017 I was working on my truck and had walked back to the shed several times for tools and parts. Went in to get a drink and come back out, walked around the truck to go to the shed again and it was laying right there at the front of my truck. Almost soiled myself. Caffeine has nothing on a rattlesnake for waking you up 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Come to think of it I haven't even seen a garter snake in 25-30 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 8,770 #31 Posted July 30, 2017 Gee, cotton mouths rattlers and copperheads. Sounds like the farm creek I grew up on. The copperheads were the worst. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then later on that day i stumbled on that one in the pic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
