Yeah, these are the only snakes I find around here. Nothing poisonous out here. I remember though, when I was a kid, I picked up this HUGE snake. I held it over my head and it's ends were still dragging on the ground. I was maybe 3 feet tall at the time? Now I think about it... it was probably someones pet they lost.... These don't get very big, maybe only big enough to eat a rat. Most I've seen is them struggling to choke down baby slugs. It's a funny sight since the slugs bunch up and they are trying to swallow it!
