Message: [QUOTE="addy1, post: 410491, member: 2547"] Yes a rat snake, I see them now and then around the yard. For how huge it is they hide well. Everyone I have seen has been very big. I know there must be babies but never see them. When I mow the back field I always mow at 4 inches so critters can be below the blades, so far nothing has been hurt by me. Really watch for turtles. Hubby was taking the pup out to pee and he saw something black and white move and move fast. Just a flash. So I got the flashlight and looked, saw the tail moving then found it between the cabinet and the freezer. It did not like me being that close so it went behind the chest freezer. Stayed there. We had to leave so it wandered out at some time. We have in the past had bird nests between the garage and house, I don't think there are any there now. The house wren likes it there. They eat rodents, frogs, birds anything they can snatch. Part of nature and population control. [/QUOTE]
