Good for you taking care of that snake! I would have run screaming and knocked myself out trying to get away. A 6 foot long rat snake fell off my patio cover last summer. You have never seen anyone run like I did. The only snakes that dont freak me out are garters and hog-nose snakes.
Bull snakes around here have a pissy attitude.

Well better a bullsnake than a prairie rattlesnake which, by the way, I stepped on 2 weeks ago and managed to come away unscatherd (can't say the same for the snake).

Okay ... I am now fighting the urge to put my feet up on the rubbish can beside me. :-)

Having said that, this is still a cool post... with great photos and video. :-)

Yikes! Sounds like quite a week. I'm with CeeCee, only people like us would run for the camera! I love the cat just lying there kindo of keeping an eye on Slippery!

Great shot for Skywatch.

you are a brave woman to tangle with a snake. i don't care for them one bit whether they are good or bad ^..^

Thank you for YOUR comment about bull snakes, as I did not know this and thought it to be a rattler. There is so much fear around snakes (I blame Christianity). It is sad and we need to do a better job in educating our friends that these animals share the earth with us ("worth their weight in gold") even if there is no direct "benefit" to humans.
You are a great storyteller! Thanks again!

I love snakes but I have no idea if he is a bad one or not!

He sounds like he had a bit of a personality!

Loved this post, all except the snake that is. My husband and I are planning to retire to New Mexico. I have bookmarked the snake pole directions.
Great photography!

EW! You are way braver than I am. LOL

2009-06-25T12:55:33.485-06:00

IiiiK! I just had every one in the house running to see what happened and why I'm squeaking. I can't stand snakes and I didn't expect one in a sky photo. Nice sky though. =)

2009-06-25T12:49:34.071-06:00

Sure he was a bull snake? Hmm, they look different in the SW than in PA. The first one I ever met dropped down from the hay loft in the big dairy barn we kept our horses in......ONTO the BACK of my horse. Wow--now I know the reason for quick release snaps on cross ties!

I'm gonna have to make one of your snake poles, and maybe keep a few of them around our place....fur sure!

2009-06-25T12:14:25.107-06:00

These bullsnakes are not dangerous to humans, unless you are prone to pass out at the sight of big snakes and happen to hit your head on the way down. And they are worth their weight in gold for the number of rodents they eat. It's just that they do an excellent rattlesnake impression whenever they're afraid - that's just not something I wanted to deal with every day, hence his removal from the feed room. I estimate this one was about 5 feet long, but they can grow up to 8 feet.

2009-06-25T10:50:31.365-06:00

I must admit that I am more afraid of spiders than I am of snakes-oh and scorpions too...do you have those as well?-but I don't know if I would like to have such a big snake in my barn area.

Is he harmless and does he catch rats/mice?

2009-06-25T10:21:25.160-06:00

Fascinating - I'm going to have to check out this snake (safely online). I'd heard of them, but didn't know that they were dangerous (not that a gal particularly wants to be bitten by a harmless snake, either!)

2009-06-25T08:14:05.528-06:00

Aw! I'm sympathetic to snakes. I'm afraid I would've had to let him stay. But my husband would've screeched like a little girl (and been less kind.)

Cool photos! Cute video: Deets to the rescue. Not!

2009-06-25T07:30:14.289-06:00

This is why I could never live where you do. I couldn't even look at these pictures. I high sped scrolled through them. Sorry! I just fear snakes like no other. You are very brave!

2009-06-25T06:40:02.108-06:00

I know that bull snakes are "good" snakes and eat mice and all that but the fear factor is just too much.
