this makes my heart hurt. Snakes are only doing what snakes do. It's incumbent upon us to keep our quail secure. It's our fault when the snake gets in.
A snake got two of my quail a few months ago. I let him go and then fixed the weak spot. He's returned since but never got back in. I haven't seen him in two or three weeks now and I suspect he gave up.
Here he is before I scared him off for the hundredth time.
Snakes can't help who they are, but we can protect our quail. Don't blame the snake, blame yourself.
(Yes I'm a hippie but snakes have a very practical and vital role in ecosystems; plus, another snake will likely just take these guys' places so you will likely lose more quail in the future)
No I hear what you are saying,,,,,,, buttttttttt they are eating my food and i just can't have that!!!!! I fixed the weak spot and if another comes back sorry to say he will die too.
