I found a 5' rat snake skin in my camper at the deer lease last month. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do about it.

Is it true that putting out moth balls will deter them??


Snake skins are usually about a 1/3 longer than the actual snake, fyi. The skin stretches.

And moth balls don't work. The best way to keep snakes out of your camper is to fix the rodent holes they crawl through. I'd rather have 10 snakes in my camper than one rat.

This was stretched across the counter behind the sink.

Serious question, what do yall carry to dispatch snakes when you are out in the yard?


Whenever we had a wet summer in SWLA and we still needed to cut the hay...dad would pack a .22 loaded with ratshot in the truck in the field with us. We always ran across moccasins when it had been really wet in the low areas.

Yep. If you don't want snakes around you have to not provide the things that they need: food, water, and cover.

That's pretty cool, actually. I'm actually pretty snake friendly.

Such as small deer and rabbits? That's a big snake to live off field mice.
