I got this pretty girl outta the road before someone ran her over. I feel like I’m the lucky one

Good for you. How’s that hand smell?

Put that one around the house, good snake.

She actually didn’t musk at all. She was in a good mood. Let me pick her up real gently never got defensive. Good day

Very pretty snake. Is that a black ratsnake (I have never seen any of those without a grey diamond type pattern)? If so, I have run across quite a few of them, and all but the biggest one had quite a nasty temper - holding their ground, coiling up and getting ready to strike. However, the biggest one I saw, at least 5', was very gentle, and didn't get defensive at all when I put my camera 6" in front of its face.

Good save. Someone would have hit it. My 9 yr old has gotten several thumbs up for moving turtles out of the road.

A good Snake to have around indeed, thanks for saving it...I haven't seen ole Jake I call him the big Green Rat Snake that used to visit my shop since sometime in May. More than likely a neighbor killed it..

Most people are so ignorant about snakes. It blows my mind at the grown men that are scared to death of all of them.

Around here they're mostly solid black except for their belly, but you'll see one like in the picture there occasionally with a little pattern. Probably the most common snake here, and they can get huge. And yep, they often have an attitude when you mess with them.

Good job! I do the same pretty often. I don't understand most people's hatred of snakes.
