Prior to moving to our new home I’d never actually seen a Pigmy Rattlesnake. I kill 2-5 here every year now.

Our old house I’d kill probably 3-10 copperhead a year.

Not a copperhead but first snake I've seen this year. This 2 1/2' black rat snake has really good timing. My shop has been overrun with mice. I'm hoping he takes care of some of them...

For the most part Rat Snake only hang around if there’s some kind rodents there. I seldom mess with them. But they are one of the uglier snakes.

I'd have to rethink flip flops for my work shoes if I lived down by you guys.

All snakes are on the endangered species list around my place, they are all dangerous/poisonous.
