I miss the blacksnakes, from the East Coast. Cottonmouths and diamond backs.... not so much. I used to catch cottonmouths, in my minnow traps, at the beach, when trying to get bait, for fishing.

Put the snake up in the apple tree and then tell your kids not to eat any apples. Hey, we all play God in our own ways.

He ate a copperhead!! Wow, good boy!! (or girl). Now you are calling that a black snake, would that be a rat snake, or maybe a racer? I saw a small snake here lately that was also all black, with the white chinny chin chin, and thought it was a racer.

I went to check on my chicks the other morning and met up with a six foot long black snake near the coop. He was hissing and threatening....acting very aggressive. I watched as he finally slithered away. I had lost one chick overnight to some sort of predator, but didn't think it was the snake. My chicks are six weeks old and fairly large. So there were four chicks left in the coop. About an hour later, I went to check on my chicks again. To my horror, one chick was dead and the black snake was IN the coop and had another chick in it's mouth. It was dead as well. I had no idea that a snake would be a threat to my chicks at their size.

We were out looking at some birds we are growing out on Saturday and right in the middle of the pen was a snake. Sharon didn't even see it up I pointed it out at which point she takes a couple steps back. lol So I went an picked it up and released it under the barn to get nice and fat on mice I hope. Couple hours later I saw the first kingsnake of the year. I didn't even think to grab the camera I was to busy watching it. lol
