My grandfathers barn in Tenn. Had a big black snake Bout 5-6 long, us kids were told to leave it alone! As it kept the mice and rats down, after seeing it a time or two, it kept us kids from being in the barn.
Was working in WVA long time ago and there was a guy wire covered in honey suckles comming up the pole I was on . As I started down the pole I noticed this little rat snake looking at me . Reached over and dropped him in my nut bag and climbed down . We had this grunt named motormouth for obvious reasons . He was down in the ROW and the pickup had a cooler of water and funnel cups on the back . So I got a piece of wire and wrapped it around the middle of the snake and hung it on the ladder rack above the cooler . It was just above head high . Motormouth comes up and itβs hotter than the hinges of hell and goes straight for the cooler . Gets a cup of water and turns up and thereβs the snake about a foot from his face . He hollered oooh oooh fell on his ass still holding the cup , boot hills digging in the ground , ass scooting backwards still holding the cup , eyes still fixed on the snake , oooh ooh . He must have scooted 6-8 ft back before he rolled up cussing and raising hell . He was madder than hell . The whole crew was cracking up , he said it wasnβt F ing funny . But we thought it was .

I've owned a pair. They are usually mellow and like to be left alone. Like most snakes, they'll bite defensively if picked up, but no big deal. As long as everything is sealed up in your basement, he won't enter unless a mouse chews it's way in. I'd introduce it to your family as a new pet that likes it's space and will protect the property from pests, copperheads and rattlers. Take pics for the scrapbook.

You were right
