we had rain in texas for weeks and today it flooded my chicken house. it was a pond all the way around it.my wife seen it swimming in the pond by the chickens house.then it went it to some weeds in water to hide .so i took my shotgun and shot into the weeds to chase him out /it worked he was swimming and i got him with my fist shot.went out into the water .it is 2 feet deep and pick him up with a stick so he is not dead and like a fool im holding him with a stick. i drop him and run back to dry ground to get my gun . i shot him again and waited 10 minutes before i went back to get him.he had 3 lumps in him.i cut it open and found my missing ceramic eggs and my golf ball i used for putting in my nest.that were mising for about a week .i put it on top off my fence and he still moves some . nerves i guess .i heard they dont quit moving till dark. well this was my story hope you enjoyed it.

Six feet long? My goodness! I'm so glad it didn't eat your chickens!

Yeah 6' is plenty big to eat young chickens. I've heard of people round here hanging a dead snake up to show other snakes not to come to your property or they'll be next. I don't know if that really works and the snake would probably stink after a while. DH says good eatin though.

The local snake expert I called for the first snake told me that the head can bite for at least an hour after it's dead. Even if you cut the head off.

The snake that got in last night and ate Frisky (my daughter's gerbil) didn't get lucky enough for me to call the snake expert. I took care of this one. Don't know why we have so many snakes getting into the house and garage here lately!

I hate snakes right now.

You have snakes getting in your house and eating indoor pets? Ohmigosh! I like snakes, but that would freak me out.
