Went to go and water some plants on the front porch. Looked up and saw this guy staring at me. Showed it to my wife and she about blew a gasket! Went back to try and pull him out but he has disappeared. Guess we won't be on the front porch this evening :laughing7: rat snake 001.JPG rat snake 002.JPG rat snake 003.JPG

Wade

HA! Not that I know of! Should have deleted one of the pics before upload. All I can say Wade, Is that is probably the skinniest yellow rat snake for it's length that I've ever caught. I did release it unharmed.

I found a small limb off a longleaf pine in my backyard that looked just like a small rattler. Took it in the kitchen by the "tail" twisting it just enough to make it look like it was moving. Well, "it" about got me and I dropped it right at her feet. Priceless! Got her ass back for jumping out of the dark when I come in the house.
