Caught my snake


Recommended Posts

Living on a farm/Ranch encounters with snakes was not uncommon. Believe it or not there are a few good types of snakes and my grandfather made sure I knew which ones not to kill, Blue Racer snakes always got a pass as they would keep the mice and rats under control in most cases. When I first moved down here with my parents in 1967 I was taught about snakes and I thought a Black Snake and a Blue Racer were the same snake but learned that they are not the same snake. A Blue Racer will kill and eat a mouse but a Black Snake will killed and eat Rats, mice and venomous snakes also. I got to witness a Black Snake and a Copperhead in a battle and once the Black Snake was able to get the Copperhead wrapped in a constrictive wrap it held onto it till it killed the copperhead and then proceeded to devour it head first. The Black snake was about 3 times as big as the Copperhead so didn't take long to eat it. That is not something you get to see everyday so I watched it all happen which took about 30 minutes beginning to end.
