SNAKE, SNAKE, BIG SNAKE (PICS)

If I hadn't been so mad over the loss of my quail I might have just relocated the nearly six footer I found. I'm not even sure what I will do if I see another but after this thread I might just think things through a little more. Though I will be releasing guineas in a few more months I might not have to deal with anymore snakes. My guineas would kill every snake they came across. It wasn;t uncommon to see them dragging a corpse around the yard.

I guess that's what guineas do.

And I think chickens kill them too. Can't say anything about that. That's their way.

Its a Black Rat Snake. The small head and white underside gives it away. They won't eat the chickens ( but would eat small fuzzies ). Theyre harmless. I've bred snakes my whole life ( Mainly pythons, boas, condas, etc ). Don't worry just put some mothballs around the coop

A rat snake will try though. I've lost two that I am 95% sure was a rat snake trying to eat a chicken. It only got the head and neck down and then gave up.
