That last one ain't no chicken snake and I now know why guys put these "things" in the road.
Guy 1. He has to be at least 5 feet. Almost bit me twice before I got his head.
Guy 2. He's sumptin alright but did you see the one I killed last week. He was 7 feet long if not an inch. The #$%#^ thing bit right thru my boots. Another hair deeper and he'd have got me.
It are too is a chicken snake.
Back when I had chickens at the barn, these snakes raided the nests each day to swallow the eggs. I did not harm them any of them. The only one that died made the mistake of crawling across an electric fence while leaving the coop.
That one hung around for a while..........
