HUBBY JUST GRABBED MY EGG EATER!

[andreanar]

We raise Heritage swine. Our freezers are packed with prime Berkshire pork. Not hungry enough too eat a rat snake! I'm not Ted Nugent's wife!! Hehe.

How do we know whos hiding behind that king mask!?? Hahahaha

 

[Ole rooster]

You are kidding, aren't you. Relocate!

Here we go again! Ikes! Snake! Hubbbbbby! Help!

​

I raise and breed Moulted Java Chickens. Lately my girls stopped giving me eggs to incubate. It's been about 5 days since I've got eggs from them.
I went out to check for eggs about 30 mins ago and opened their egg hatch... I almost wet myself!

​

A giant Rat Snake was taking a siesta after an egg meal.
Hubby was only home for about 10 mins and I was already yelling at him, bit this time for a good reason! (HeHe)

He comes out and stuck in his hand and zoinked out the critter. He looked at me and he said.. "Whoosie".. I hate snakes.

He stretched it out next to a measuring tape and it was 5' 6"!
Fat from my eggs too!

We have him in a plastic can and we will relocate him miles away tomorrow.
Perhaps my hens will once again continue to give me beautiful fertile eggs now!

UPDATE:
Big Daddy Yellow Rat Snake now lives exactly 36.5 miles from my Mounted Java House.
His home is now the Ocala National Forest.
Thousands and thousands of acres of undeveloped protected land with an end less food supply. Far from civilization and best of all.. my hen houses!

Just to show him I was a good sport about it, I gave him an egg breakfast before we parted our separate ways!

We just got close to 3 inches of rain in 2 hours. Total wash out. Went out an hour ago to check all the critters and this was in the big hen house!

Hubby snagged it up out of an egg basket.
A fat one. Not as long but still huge.
OMG. We just took the other one across the county and his buddy shows up!
Good greif Charlie Brown..

[Lazy Farmer]

We can't win.. I have the live traps set to catch wet rats tonight!

I want to move to Florida too! But oh my, I don't know if I can handle this many snakes without having a heart attack
