Nothing like reaching in a nesting box to pick eggs and feeling snake.

beautiful snake but yes that dude will clean you out if you don’t remove him. When I had chickens I had the most determined rat snake I’d ever seen, somebitch was on a first name basis with my hens. It got to be funny, I’d pull his arse out of there and drive him a block away and he’d be back the next night.

finally I boxed him up and drove him to loranger to a friends farm. I will say I never had mice in the coop while he was around

I found one the other night.





I figured my rooster would take care of him but never found a body.

Im thinking of getting this one from Amazon. Run an electric fence outside along the bottom and nothing is digging under the fence.

Growing up in Desoto Parish with chickens, I didn't know there was anything other than black rat snakes.
