You laid sulphur down and it didn't work? OMG!! That was what I had planned on using! Guess I better do some more research!

My dh found one of those guys in the nest box a couple of days ago trying to swallow a plastic egg. I wasn't immediately sure what it was so it got away. Next time it comes back it will be relocated far far away. I'm not great at snake id because they weren't around where I grew up. My 9-year-old son would like to keep each and every snake we find. We have a million rubber/plastic snakes around the house, and my dh thought the kids were messing with him at first. Then the snake moved. I've long said that one of these days I'll reach down to pick up one of the play snakes from the garage floor and it will be the real thing. The scream will be heard on the moon

One of the reasons I live in this state is because we do not have poisonous snakes (who knows what will happen with the temps rising every year, though). I like snakes.. well, little ones, anyway. I've only seen one here in three years. My husband is glad because he hates snakes!

I'm glad you didn't kill it. And I agree, snakes do serve a purpose. What a beauty, though! And how huge!

That's why we live in Alaska, NO Snakes

I grew up in Haines, AK, which is why my snake id skills are minimal. But here I don't have to build a bear proof coop.

Of all the snakes to have the King Snake is the best one to keep around

They hunt and eat rattle snakes

Id just move the snake further from the coop and let it go.. Snakes eat lots of mice which is a bonus
