Anymouse don't do snakes, but I found this one sunning himself in my yard.
Any snake experts out there??
see a snake, kill a snake.
I've seen several in the yard, but have never been able to trace them back under the deck. Rectifying that problem is on my to-do list. Might have to move the time line up a tad.
Actually, copperheads are among the least dangerous of the venomous snakes in North America. I sure don't want to get bitten by one, but if I had to choose, I'd rather it be a copperhead than its cousin, the cottonmouth.
That copperhead might have already taken care of your field mice problem.
Yeah probably a Black Racer. Got one around my house. Good for keeping the rodent population down.
Texas has one too, in Sweetwater. Frankly I think it is going the way of dog fighting, cock-fighting. Lots of anti-cruelty sentiment surrounding it now.A town in South Alabama has a rattlesnake rodeo every year, Opp AL.
Copperheads aren't all that aggressive but 2 times a year: 1. When they first come out of their dens (hungry). 2. When they shed their skin (they're blind).
I have one that suns himself on my sidewalk. Near record size. Doesn't even move when I walk past, and when he is there I never have to worry about Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, or door to door sales people.
Yeah, but then there are the crazy pentecostal types who will want to handle him to prove god loves and protects them from serpents.
