Just a few minutes ago, we were unloading some boxes to use for loading things to be moved from our home. It was nearly dark and out from under the truck a very large chicken snake crawled out and put my wife on the truck. I could easily see that it was a chicken snake and the elderly owners of this campground had been having problems with their eggs disappearing via a snake. If it had been a blueracer, a kingsnake or any other non-poisonous snake, I would have moved it on. It was right at 5 ft long and had my wife's full attention as she demanded for me to "take care of it, right now!"
But it was a chicken snake and so it paid the price with one whack behind it's head, it was pretty much done for. So, I was informed to get it out of the area so I moved it down below the house to the gravel road that led to the pond. It was also within yards of a couple pf port-a-potties. So, sometime tonight or in the morning, someone will find it and it will get "killed" again. I got to thinking about it for a thread and sent my wife down to get a pic of it. Well, she could see that it was still moving around and so I had to come down and make sure that it was dead again for her. She was going to go under the house in the next day or so and it would have caused her to hurt herself to say the least.
The place is full of out of state campers with their ATVs so it will be found soon enough. Now, it is past the potty about ten yards so it won't be causing any undo stress on a camper in a hurry but it will be easily seen by anyone heading towards the pond or the ATV trail. might be interesting in the morning but the owners will be happy. Years ago, I would have placed it at the front of the potties or inside but I have gotten more mellow in my older age,well, kind of anyways. DL Sorry, couldn't get the potties to be right side up
