Blacksnake

[JPT]

9 years as a cable guy, I know what you mean. Have been in crawlspaces with so many spiderwebs I've actually used a portable torch to burn them out of the way.:violent3:

Cable guy? Your name wouldn't happen to be Larry, would it? :p

You should try some of the jobs I've had. One involved being stuffed under houses to remove moldy insulation. LOTS of bugs, snakes, mice, etc. It's even better when they crawl around inside your hazmat suit.

Because of this, I also know what all kinds of bugs taste like.

We have a lot of Black Snakes, and King Snakes around here, so not much in the way of mice/rats/chipmunks.

Sasquatch, guess you won't be coming to my house anytime soon, guessing my 4 ft. Ball Python would make you turn around pretty quick, eh?

This pic is from a couple of years ago, when he was a little less than 3 feet.

Common snake for your area and putting it by the barn wasnt a bad idea.

Black Rat Snake (Elaphe obsoleta obsoleta)

The Black Rat Snake is one of several subspecies of Rat Snakes (Yellow and Gray Rat Snakes are others). Rat Snakes are common throughout the eastern U.S., although the black subspecies of rat snake does not occur in Florida. This snake can be quite large (it may exceed six feet in length) and has slightly keeled scales (raised ridge along the middle of each scale) that make it appear somewhat rough. Its back is almost entirely black (small flecks of whitish color may show through the black), whereas its chin and belly have a lot of white markings. Black Rat Snakes are excellent climbers and are found in a great variety of habitats, ranging from pine forests to agricultural fields. They feed primarily on rodents, birds and birds' eggs.

haha, they don't scare me as long as they're not poisionous. It wasn't that hard to catch either, just grab them right behind their head so they can't swing around and bite you..
