THE DAILY SNAKE # 10 - CRAZY CLIMBING CAPABILITY OF THE RAT SNAKE

in #amazing • 6 years ago

This is crazy!

From climbing straight up the trunk of a tree to climbing straight up a building, Rat Snakes are incredible climbers. Since they also enjoy eating birds and eggs, besides the "rats" that they get their name from, climbing comes in handy. I remember the first time I saw one climbing a tree trunk without using any branches...

It was this one, as captured by @vcelier during his visit to our homestead last year. The snake almost impressed me as much as @vcelier! Anyway, here are some crazy climbing photos for you to enjoy! Be careful out there, snakes could be almost anywhere!

        Animals are so impressive. How do they do it? I have hands, and I can't do that without spikes on my boots!

                  I have seen snakes crawl walls and trees here, but they weren't rat snakes. I have no idea which species of snake they are but they are fascinating.
