Snake!!Look what I found. I was wondering what was gettitting my eggs

[Country Living Farm]

It was not killed but has a nice home several miles away The sad thing, it got two eggs my brrody just started sitting on. At least it did not get the turkey and pure white Guinee egg.

At least you caught him.

He was in mid-lunch!

Where are you located and what breed of snake was it? (Just wondering if I can expect it @ my house!)

Don't know where OP is, but that's a yellow rat snake. I have a 6 footer who get a couple eggs daily.

They are good snakes to have around- they eat rats, mice, roaches, etc. and are non-venomous.

This is one of the smaller ones, as you can see it doesn't bother my bantam Cochin, Goldie!

Around here they are called Corn snakes (I don't know if that is just a local name or the real name) but there are alot of them.

Ah ok, so the corn snake is a local name.

They are great mouser's.

Wow... we have garter snacks and they scare the crap out of me.

I am so glad that there isn't anything bigger than a tiny garder snake where I live......

That's a garter snake not a rat snake. You can tell by the long stripes.
