I was out cutting brush over the weekend and looked up to this. He just laid there and didn’t move even with a chainsaw running 5 feet away. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2022/04/full-232-137854-c37d91c5_a38f_4873_adc0_1e6e4fbf7a13.jpeg) It took a lot of mice to grow that big.
Looks like he needs another year;-)

Dang! Snakes in trees is not something we have here in ND. What kind of snake is that? Is it venomous?

Black snake. Nonvenemous. They eat mice and stuff.
Lots of bird eggs and chicken eggs too.
Personally id rather have a mouse in the house instead of I snake.
IF IDIOTS GREW ON TREES THIS PLACE WOULD BE AN ORCHARD !

black King snake? https://inherpatlas.org/species/lampropeltis_getula#:~:text=The%20Black%20Kingsnake%20is%20a%20State%20Imperiled%20species%20in%20Ohio.&text=Black%20Kingsnakes%20are%20found%20throughout,Indiana%20along%20the%20Wabash%20River. or Grey Rat snake https://inherpatlas.org/species/pantherophis_spiloidesgiven the larger size Grey Rat snake seems more likely
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

He got a free pass today. I might be sorry because there are quail eggs on the way. It was probably 7 feet.
Looks like he needs another year;-)

Rat Snake, Grey by location
Protected in Georgia as are all nonvenomous species. They're protected in MO as well till they start eating your chickens, I lost a few last year till I caught one(a black snake) with one in his mouth. He was only about 4-5 ft. Long.

Why? Not a snake lover, but black snakes keep the rat population in check.
I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

There’s lots of critters to be more scared of than a black rat snake……..
Hummingbirds, baby rabbits, etc.
Lock me in the outhouse with a grizzly bear any day but keep the snakes away from me!

Scott. It actually did spit it out but I didnt eat it.lol That often happens if a snake is interupted while swallowing as they are particularly vulnerable while doing so. If threatened they'll unload in preparation to flee or fight.
