5-6 footer's on the sidewalk I don't mind them, but don't want them in the house, they went for a little ride.

Some kind of rat snake?

… better than having these around the house partner

Nice

Can't tell what kind of snake you got there?
I have a bunch of garter snakes around here I have to watch out for when I mow.

No thanks. I’ve only seen a couple snakes in my life (we don’t have any) and I was cutting timber in Oregon the first time, and California the second time, so I had a saw handy, and I used it. Never been happier to run a chain into the ground lol

Yes both were Black Rat Snakes, I caught one a couple years ago that was ,7 ft. Plus and it was a Western Rat Snake

Sure as heck is, I don't know how you guys get by with out getting bit.

…. We wear boots …. Dad took a chance barefoot one night and paid for it



… he let it run it’s course and is good as new

Your dad has the worst mismatched feet I have ever seen. I have mangled four toes with a chainsaw and they aren't that different in length. Maybe an optical illusion? You and Vinke related?

… he’s got the one snake bit raised on an ice pack


… funny thing as soon as he was back at it he directly cut his leg near to the bone with a still chainsaw lol

… healed that up at home too … for the most part..think it’s still seepin a little lol

Are they out at night, I figured they would hold up at night??

… most active at night

Do there eyes glow?

…. Not really but their entire body has a shine to it when you hit them with a light

Sounds crazy, I would think trapping/calling and deer/ turkey hunting at night dawn/ dusk would be d-++- dangerous,

… frogging the worst with cottonmouths …. Copperheads ain’t a threat with boots on … but wading around in blue jeans with cottonmouth can get western… buddy of mine got put in the hospital from it…..Upper thigh… a little close to home if you know what I mean lol


…. I had one slide off a bank directly into my crotch but his mouth was closed thankfully

Are those cottonmouths just super aggressive, or just when you get to close?

Screw that sheet, I feel right at home here in Mo.

…. My experience is they show their mouth first … if you don’t heed the warning they can get aggressive

….. another buddy of mine got alligator bit lol

I don't mind snakes but I also don't mind that we don't have poisonous ones here.

you guys can keep them snakes down south,

I like snakes. Non venomous ones in my neck of the woods. Use to sell those black rat snakes by the foot when we were kids to the pet store. Always wondered what he dijd with them. They were never for sale in his store
