kkahmann;
Good evening to you sir, I trust the day treated you acceptably and this finds you well.

Indeed he'd be a wealth of knowledge on the subject sir, thanks for the reminder.

As far as I'm aware he's well and I'll send him your best at next opportunity.

Thanks, all the best to you all and stay well.

Dwayne

Back when I was about ten and spending summers on my uncles farm, one of the chores my brother and I shared was gathering eggs from the coop. Every now and then a hen would't make it back and instead would roost in a cement mixer we had by the barn. Never forget the day I stuck my head in there looking for eggs and got nose to nose with Mr. bullsnake!

I don't begrudge them an egg or two, but if they come for my youngest daughter's baby bunnies they're in trouble. From her. She won't put up with it.

I never met a Bullsnake longer than about a foot that didn't have a seriously bad attitude, like most water snakes but a few steps below a Coachwhip.

The sense of smell in a snake’s tongue is amazing, a rat snake on the ground can smell a nest and clutch of eggs 20ft up a tree.

I got not problem not killing egg eating snakes, as long as you don’t mind that snake not killing anything, or eating eggs either, for another couple of weeks while it digests and processes those three or four eggs it just ate.

Thanks for the additional photos sir, that's some fine specimens there - snakes and humans!

Thanks again, it's been an education for me tonight.

All the best to you all sir. Stay well.

He was very knowledgable and gave the impression it was borne of experience. Lots of pics as I recall too.

Years ago, my lovely wife set a few golf balls to encourage a particular hen to start sitting.

Shortly after, discovered a big black snake in the coop....it had swallowed one of the golf balls.

Doubt it made it.

Don’t mind the black snakes in the least. Passive snakes. Saw two knotted together in a tree, couple days ago. Snake rut. 2 yo grandson got a kick.

They get some eggs, but mice too.
