Went to get the eggs today and just about grab ahold of this. Needless to say I just about craped my pants. Anyway I got it out and turned it loose. Maybe it will eat some rats Ive been seeing lately.

I would have fainted!

OMG, he's really stretching his mouth out for that big ol' egg, isn't he?

I'm not sure i would have had the presence of mind to "turn him loose." I might have made the coop look like a crime scene in a panic. Glad it was you and not me.

Not me!! I would have killed it. Seeing a snake just about stops my heart. Killed a copperhead trying to get into the hen house last month. Nothing will stop me now......off with their heads if they try to get to my chickens!

What a surprise! Oh boy! You got some awesome pictures though, and thank you for letting him go. Did you explain he's to eat the mice, not the eggs?

 

[Rooster Cogburn]

Good God what kind of snake is that?

 

[hchorselover]

thanks a lot, now I will be scared to put my hand in the nesting box!

haha

at least he got to the eggs not the chickens! And it was nice of you to release him. At my house he would be dead by now!

I don't mind snakes, but I would have had a heart attack (or close to it) had I gone to collect eggs and found that fella curled up in there...lol.
