Good shot! Amazing how big a thing a snake can stretch its head over.

If you never have read it, you really, really need to read this Ron Rash story called "Hard Times." I think you would like it and get it. Here's a link to a free version: https://www.jstor.org/stable/40211528?seq=1/subjects

When we had chickens, I caught a fellow like that trying to swallow an egg. Got the egg, and escorted the snake to another less occupied corner of the property. 2 days later, I caught him again. He went for a long ride that time.

Neat shot of that egg eater!

I don't think I'll ever forget my grandmother reaching up into a nest box to get the eggs out and one of those sliding down her arm. My grandfather and I were on the other side of the house, and we IMMEDIATELY knew something was bad wrong. I don't think I ever saw my grandmother any more shook up.

We had yellow rats on our farm in the SC mountains.....they’d do the same thing of course. Made my dad mad back in the day...

When ole preacher catches a thief he has a word of prayer and escorts him out of the pen with a sword so he can't come back in-- usually works?(IMG_0714.JPG Gen. 3)

I have to go 100 miles to the east back to my old home place to see yellow rat snakes. I just don`t ever see them over this way.
