About a week ago, I had to evict another squatter from my chicken coop.
Negotiations took 30 minutes. He wasn't coming willingly.
The more I held onto his body, the tighter he clung tp the mesh.
Not wanting to damage his scales, I finally opted to cut some of my chicken wire to pull him out.
The last snake one was relocated a mile away and I swear he came back. I read up on snake relocation research and was saddened to learn that they don't stay in the area you relocate them in. What they do is take off in a straight line to try to find their way back to their territory. I thought of bringing him to my new place, there's 1000's of acres of woods behind it, but there's a busy road a few hundred yards away and a big hay field across the road where he might get chopped up. Nope, Slick was driven 5 miles away to a Nature Preserve up the road.
Biggest darn rat snake I've ever seen, over 6 feet long, I guess organic eggs are good for you!!!
