Love seeing the bull snakes in the yard, as that means less mice. Garter snakes need to stay low around here, as the racoons, skunks and hawks eat em up, but they're good at going after grasshoppers that could be eating up your garden. I get garter snakes in the house once in awhile. It was funny when the cat had one cornered. Cat would tap it on the head and the garter snake would strike, making the cat leap high in the air. Pretty comical it was.
 

Yup. Probably tastes just like chicken. My hens would make short work of the snake, OR the mouse.
 

Sweet! That's a nice one! Harmless little Garter snake. I love those things.
 

found one in my basement the other day.
 

I DO NOT pick them up. I leave them alone. Sometimes I talk to them, confuses the snot out of them too.
 

Pfffbt!


I know, I know. One of our Creator's creations. :tongue3:

It does remind me of something I do like about hawks.... they eat snakes! :laughing9:
 

Signs of summer finally. Cool pics
 

Nice pic, I personally have no issue with snakes and just leave them be to get along with their lives.
 

I had a two week break between jobs recently that coincided with the spring "snake season" we experience every year, and of course I packed in about 8 detecting trips to the hills.
Came across 8 or 9 rattlers, 3 or 4 Bulls and a rare Ringed-Neck.
A couple of the rattlers were a bit to close, but when they first come out for the season they're grumpy and really make sure you know they're there. Can't wait until it hits 100, and they disappear all day long again.... makes for more peaceful swinging.

Yep a Garter snake. They are the ones when mating you might see a 100 all together. You smell them first. Nice pic.
