They are just like regular garden snakes that are black. No venom but they can get kinda big depending on how they servive in the wild. They usually dont bother you as long as you dont bother them.


So sorry about Lola

So sorry!

We have black snakes all over the place over here. Thats why I keep my duck inside. I'm too scared for her.

How old/big was she? Just trying to get an idea of what damage a snake can do.

Thanks. We have huge black snakes here too. (Missouri) So sorry for poor Lola. I have always heard that snakes will get in and get the chicken eggs but haven't had that problem so far. My Grandpa used to pull HUGE black snakes out of his barn that would eat his pigeons.
Sorry I'm rambling. You've just made me think about this a little!
