How many eggs can a snake eat daily?

Oh wow. That creeps me out. If I found a 6ft snake in any of my sheds there would be a new "door" out. I respectfully leave them alone in their natural environment. But I couldn't deal with walking into the barn everyday wondering where the 6ft snake is hiding. Might be in that open sack of seed I just picked up....... Creepy......

Yeah, I am OK with snakes. Except if they are over me. I had two in the barn ceiling, looking down on me the other night. Big ones too! I need to fix the barn up.

Well, I finally caught the rat snake today......

Nice pics. What's the pole? A snake-catching thingy?

Exactly what I was thinking - more pics of the head, please?

Thanks!

This is the only other photo I have. If you click on it to enlarge it you get a fair view of the head with the round eyes.

The pole is just any old stick with a hole in the end. You tie a string or wire to the hole and run the string back through the hole leaving a loop to catch with and running the string up to the other end of the stick. You put the loop over the snake then pull the string to tighten the loop.

I got to build me one. I usually use a stick, and bare hands. Had one black snake bite me good. It did not let go either! Kids and wife were cracking up at my snake dance.

That is exactly why they sell "Snake Shot", I don't leave the house without it this time of year. The wife hates snakes worse than I do, and I don't like 'em at all.

The Single Six is never far away. First two rounds are snake shot then 4 more in case I catch that pesky squirrel in my building again or a bunny in the garden. I don't go out searching for things to kill, but if they are tearing up my property or messing with my groceries, they got'ta go.

Not sure about eggs - but the copperhead on my back porch ate a shovel blade last night

What did you do with the dead turkeys you cut out of the snake? Soup?

I'm having a hard time deciding which is worse:

- A snake that ate two of your baby turkeys


-OR-

- You wearing crocs while catching said snake.

Partially digested. I was going to say pre chewed.
