That's good to hear..:thumbsup Oklahoma.. I spent a few weeks up in Westport Wash back in the early 90s.. Yes snake don't fair well when the weed eater meets them.. Pygmy rattle met weed eater who had eaten another harmless earth snake..
I'm a big fan of snakes and don't mind it one bit.. I'm even good with sharing the eggs with them.. But when the wife insists I do something I start relocating them.. It is elaphe or rat snake, intergrade because of our location
