I didn't know there was a such thing as large glue boards. This is interesting because I am absolutely terrified of snakes, any and every kind. The only reason I request these to be moved away from where I'm working and where my chickens and ducks are is because they terrify me but I've been told they take care of the more poisonous snakes. If that's untrue, I'll start requesting they're relocated far far away off of the property. They're usually just moved to the other side of the pond. The smaller ones I try to just avoid. They haven't bothered my ducks and the ducks will inspect from a little bit of distance and then go about their business, all the while keeping an eye on the snakes. Last year my drakes ran a large snake all the way across the pond
Oh no! Thank you for this information. I've been told that the ones I've had are chicken snakes and the 7 or 8 ft was a black snake. I guess they are both "black snakes" . I'll continue to just have them moved to the other side of the pond. I still don't love them but I can respect them and their need to thrive for the ecosystems benefit. Thanks again for speaking up about this. I appreciate it
My minnow trap has not caught a thing! It’s so frustrating because I know how strongly our Western rat snakes are drawn to guinea fowl eggs. I usually catch them by hand, but I was feeling whimpy that day and didn’t want to get bit/sprayed. I should have left the snake eating guinea eggs undisturbed and located gardening gloves then grabbed the snake amd relocated.
