CLOSE TO THE CREATURES WITH PAPA - Black Rat Snake
Finally, another snake photo shoot!
Black Rat Snakes are officially the longest snake in North America. Though some have been measured at over eight long, the longest that we have ever found was almost six feet long. They are a fast snake and are good at climbing trees too. During an encounter, they will usually flee the scene if possible, but once you grab them, they are very prone to biting.
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

That's a beautiful snake, well done Pappa🐍
It is a beautiful snake, and we really like seeing them around! Thanks @reddust!
You are the beast!
Well said!
There angry little biters aren't they. Lol
We'd get rat snakes in the chicken coop from time to time, going for the eggs. These guys get big! We just relocate them to another part of the property and invite them to eat the field rats and mice instead. Really nice photos!
That's the same thing we do! RELOCATE!!!
Oh, yes! I don't understand why so many people kill these things on sight. If you live in the country like I do, you NEED them. Plus they belong here, and they're living things which shouldn't be killed thoughtlessly. We pretty much relocate every animal that wanders onto our property, if it's not okay for them to stay. The armadillo is our funniest story. It gave us a run for our money! I should write about it sometime. Thanks for all that you've shared with the community!
With the number of snakes you have got at least you won't have mice.
Surprisingly, there are still enough of them to go around!
Having seen the Malaysian snakes in action your mice must be pretty damm fast. or maybe the snakes are too well fed. Tell the little peppers they are supposed to eat their food, not smuggle it out to feed the snakes.
Impressive and expressive snake pics! Beady intense eyes in 3rd pic, nice.
In the proof pic the snake appears as if it's yelling at you and you're ignoring it :)
meme it n' steem it!
Nice job!
Looks like a mean one. Hope no humans are hurt.
wow, amazing.
