IN THE FACE OF THE SERPENT....

How close would you get?

The Black Rat Snake is one of the most common larger snakes in our area. While they do pose a threat to our eggs and smaller poultry, they also help reduce the rat population, which can be beneficial. They are not an aggressive snake, nor are they venomous, but they will defend themselves by biting. Since they are also rather fast, it can be hard to get a good photo of them, but I did try. Here are some close up head shots of this Black Rat Snake I recently found. Enjoy!
