_Wilson_™ 6,435 Posted May 30 I know that 1st one ..... That's a garter snake none poisonous ..... The other two maybe chicken ? Also none poisonous.... They look healthy!! Good pics Ted..... You can keep them.... Up your way...lol. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 19,750 Posted May 30 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 ? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,435 Posted May 30 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 ? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 19,750 Posted May 30 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. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 19,750 Posted May 30 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 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just in case. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LedFTed 1,103 Posted May 30 (edited) 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..
