Garter snake for the first one ---- Hard to see  the second and the third picks , but my guess would be a rat snake for both of those ----  I know what kind of snake they would have been if  I seen them , dead snakes ---- poor Fred , when is the service ?

I wouldn't have ever got that close to them...... I'm with y'all a dead rope is a good rope especially being that close to home ? I don't mind them being out yonder >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> catching rodents and what not.......lol! With as particalure I've become about my health I'd hurt myself getting away... Reminds me when you got a startled when you seen that one in your shop.. Lol! What about 3 year back ?

It has been an above normal snake count here by our house so far this year.  Only one venomous cotton mouth I seen  back in the woods. It has been black runners and garden snakes which are like a tan runner.

Them black or blue runners are fast , they get about 3 ft and can really move it ---- reminds me of watching the TV shows of the black mamba ---- I would not want to meet up with a mamba , they are extreme

If I had the slightest inkling one of those was on my property I'd bulldoze, then burn then call in a nuke strike.  Just in case.

had to throw this in for posterity. i had a sheet of metal 3'x8' 24 gauge, cut and bent, an put it around the vinyl siding, an filled the corners with steel wool. on occasion the steel wool rust, and ya got to pack in a little more, but it keeps out the snakes and mice..

p.s. thats a Pella out side door.  in 2st pictures, nice looking aint it..
