I've learned that the black snakes visit just as the sun is setting.

I had a close encounter last weekend - was going to post it but didn't. Just before dark, I went to close the barn and saw something black under the straw. I said to the birds, please tell me that's a feather. Nope - it was a snake.

So I took a stick and poked around it so it would leave but no luck. Since it was down in a hole - a mouse hole - I thought it must be catching something.

I can't believe what I did, but I was determined that snake was going to be out of the barn before I closed it up for the night. I took ahold of its tail and started pulling - with my bare hands. I can tell you I had the creepiest feeling in the world when it kept coming and coming and coming. The thing had to have been about 6 feet long b/c I'm 5'3" and was holding it up over my head and it almost touched the ground. I then freaked and thought, what the h am I going to do now? So I threw it out into the pasture - didn't hurt it - and it was stunned for a second. I took the long stick and went to scare it away and the darned thing started after me and opened its mouth to hiss and it looked weird.

OMG - a tiny infant mouse fell out of the mouth. I almost threw up but was too busy scaring the snake. It took a few tries but it finally turned around and went into the field.

Then back into the barn I go and there is a much smaller black snake headed for three eggs. I got the eggs, the snake disappeared but had the infant mice for dinner instead b/c the hole was reopened (after I dropped the infant mouse back in - didn't know what else to do with the thing).

Well, that's my weird snake story. I respect them but don't what them in the barn even though I know they're there.

Ewww - now I'm all creepy again.
 
LMAO...that was THE funniest story!....lol..(still laughing)...just wanted to say...your lucky the snake didnt turn around and latch on!..lol..STILL LAUGHING!...thanks for the story...Wendy
 
I've relocated the same snake a few times. The latest time was today. If it comes back again I may have to go against my philosophy about snakes and animals and send it to another world.

I loved the story, 6 feet of snake and 5'3" of person.
