black ratsnake

[snakehunter7]

went out to menantico the other day and i found 2 fence lizards, and a black ratsnake which was about 3 1/2 feet long, perfect health, i ran back to get my digital camera (which i finally got) and he was nowhere to be found.

just thought id share

The one that I rescued a week or so ago has now taken up residence in a big rotted stump in my yard. I have seen him out sunning twice now in the past couple of days. Various critters such as field mice like to live under a shed we have close to the edge of the woods so I'm sure there's plenty to eat.

this year seems to be a great year for black ratsnakes, ive seen them more than any other kind of snake this year
