I have both, black rat snakes and a black racer in my back 40 property and you can really tell the difference when you walk up to them . That racer will haul ass. We also have corn snakes and we used to have a family of some type of rattlesnake here. Them corn snakes can climb some stuff.

I spyed a large Black Racer sunning itself in a pine plantation while Rabbit hunting on a crisp winter afternoon and thought It would be cold, slow and easy to catch to later scare my huntin buddies with :lol: . It took off in a flash so I gave chase in the wide open pinewoods thinkin it would tire quickly and then I'd grab it. After I chased it about 70 yrds it slowed and as I caught up it turned around and came after me, fast as ever :eek: , so now an armed, grown man is running through the forest being chased by a snake :lol: After about 50' and almost catching/bitting me twice it stopped and raised it's head up high and gave a loud, quick hissss like it was spitting on me, then it turned around and slowly went on it's way apparently (correctly) confident it had intimidated it's aggressor.,.......................In hindsite I'm pretty sure I had briarbritches and boots on that day and the snake probly could'nt have hurt me by biting. I'm not afraid of snakes and don't kill them unless they're poisonous and about to get away in my yard before I can catch and relocate them, but nobody wants to get bit and when one is " commin right for you :eek: " or hot on your heels you gets to highsteppin!! It must be instinct taking over :lol:

Now thats a good story. haha
 
My neighbor told me about golf balls - in reference to getting snakes to stop taking chicken eggs. Replace a couple eggs with golf balls and they try to eat it. They can't digest the golf ball so they try to "pass" it through by rubbing up against stuff. They ultimately can't, so you will find Mr. Dead Snake wrapped around a tree trunk or what-not with a big lump in the middle.
 
Nope golf balls haha he says snakes don't the difference and the lime is what kills the because its supposed to burn them up when they slide over it
 
funny that you said something about golfballs. we use em in our hen nest as nest eggs.
last summer one (golfball)went missing and we had a thought that a snake had swallowed it.
later on in early fall i was working in the shop when i heard a hubcap fall off the wall
and hit the floor----went and looked and lo and behold there was a blacksnake with a
big bulge in his middle. needless to say he met his maker shortly thereafter. blacksnakes
were bad this year----i removed 5 & took em away. most years we only relocate 1-2.
 
My cats were scared to hell and had absolutely nothing to do with one half that size when it squirmed from my bathroom while I was in the middle of replacing my bathtub (2-3 week long project due to very busy schedule). So I think it would have to be one hell of a cat to have helped in this situation...

And ain't it ironic how all little girls love them and all women hate them???:shaking:

As a kid, I used to love all sorts of critters (as my southern wife calls them). Squirrels, hamsters, field mice, lizards, snakes, etc. I went to Boy Scout camp as a Counselor in Training and was stuck in the Nature Center for three weeks. At this point, if it moves faster than I do and it's not a dog, I don't want anything to do with it. I especially can't stand birds of any kind.
 
Just watched an episode of mythbusters, all the home remedies failed including moth balls and pepper.
 
I allow king snakes to stay anywhere they like on my property. They won't bother anyone. They keep rodents down and you will never has poisonous snakes around. They are they only ones that can kill them.
Would rather kids or dogs find them, then a copperhead or rattler.
