RE: I DON'T MIND BLACK SNAKES ON THE FARM AS LONG AS THEY STAY AWAY FROM MY CHICKENS
My dad let a black snake live in his barn to help with mice. I caught it a few times. There seems to be something in their saliva that makes the bit hurt worse. Maybe it's just in my head, but I've wondered if it's some kind of venom precursor.
I don't think they have any Venom at least not the black rat snake. There are some black snakes that have venom. Leaving the black rat snakes carry bacteria in their mouth and that can get pretty nasty
definitely no venom. I thought it might be bacteria too. There something on top of the bite causing pain. My dad got a good laugh out of it.
Lol. I'm sure he did. 😂
