Title: Snake going bird hunting

My boys were in the front yard shooting their bows and one of them sees this dude easing his way up this tree. Not sure what kind it is, I just know its not venomous. I let him live. ;D

looks like a rat snake. Good one to have around. To dark to be a corn snake.

That's a rat snake for sure--he's a nice un too. Glad you let him walk--er---crawl. :)

Those things and the black ones are tough on baby birds this time of year. Not to mention squirrels.

I guess that is why there were 3 baby blue jays running around in my yard this morning. They could not fly but could run pretty dang fast. ;D Momma was dive bombing me as I was trying to get in my truck. :laugh:

That would be a gray rat snake and they do love raiding bird nests.
