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.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)
