Those are better than flip flops but Georgia is blessed with pit vipers that can bite through a lot of boots.

Greeaaattttt!

I am on my phone and can't post pictures but I bet the majority of people couldn't distinguish a copperhead from an eastern banded water snake or a corn snake.

Mine was definitely a copperhead, but I'm sure we have others too. I know we have some form of black snakes that climb fences though.

She just died

how do I properly dispose of her, bury her? Im sorry if I sound ignorant, I just need guidance. I'm so sad. She was a silver lace wyandotte

I would bury her, I'm sorry that happened to you

I'm in Woodbine, just north of the Florida line. The first year we were here, we had to deal with 2 pygmy rattlesnakes. We have a lot of gopher tortoises here, which is where the pygmys like to live.

Eastern Diamondbacks live in those holes, too. As do the endangered and very much protected Indigo Snake. Gopher tortoises are way cool. I found one about the size of the palm of my hand once. I snapped some photos, set if off the road and went on my way.

Oh. My. Goodness! Something came up again and not seeing loved ones or the chickens they are bringing us.

I buried her. Now I'm doing now predator proofing again, hardware cloth in the ground around the fence perimeter. I know some snakes can climb though. Im feeling desperate to do something

We once saw one old tortoise the size of a hubcap. Most of the ones out back are 12 to 15 inches long. It's great to watch them out and about. Except for the recent run of rat snakes, we don't have much of a problem with snakes. And then they are mostly after the eggs. I've only lost one chicken to a snake, and that was a small Bantam Cochin hen that was fiercely broody and probably refused to budge. I found her the next morning, and buried her in my "pet cemetery".

Sweet baby Jesus. Which one of you was that head pointed toward!?

 

[Blue Roo]

It was pointed away from both of us
