I'm sure there are more but this guy lived in the coop with my ducks. I saw him about 4 times a week hanging out behind the feed bin or crawling up the wall. Lots of yellow about 5 1/2 feet long. Definitely the same snake. He moved in after his predecessor are the ceramic egg and died. The previous snake was the one that killed La Shi, but I didn't want to risk this guy. They seem to not understand the ducks are too big to eat and suffocate them anyway.

Same here the one that was living in the loft of the coop last year was 5’ and tried to eat a chick that was too big only got head an neck in so he had to go! Such a waste.

Yep about the same time as my duckling. Why can they not realize it's too big to eat. Then we have a wasted duckling and a good snake dead.

You guys have nice snakes? They don't try kill you?

Yes yes we do have good snakes. I have heard everything in your country is out to kill you. This particular snake is non venomous. It's a constrictor that eats rodents and venomous snakes, a good snake. I like having them around. Unfortunately, they don't realize the duckling is too big to eat. They wrap it and swallow the head and suffocate the duckling. They don't mess with the adult ducks except for eating an occasional egg.

Here you go. I believe what this calls an indigo snake is what @Miss Lydia calls a black snake. These are all good snakes although the scarlet king looks much like a coral snake, which would kill you. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_snake

Come on Ralphie, I'm heartbroken I had to kill my rat snake. He was such a good guy. Both halves of him kept slithering for over 30 minutes.

Snakes and bats are two of my least favorite critters. If I had to rank them with Dux, I have no idea how I would do it..

They sound similar to pythons. Pythons are okay. yes... everything here trys to kill you.
