I gotch ya re: the goat pellets.
I hadn’t considered the breeding aspect but that is certainly a possibility.
Like I said...I live on a lake...a narrow cove of the lake. I have seen the breeding “orgy”, lol. The snakes will ball up and do water aerobics, making the water churn like crazy. Pretty awesome sight.
Wow....you should video that the next time you see it and put it on YouTube.
I’ve never see the likes of that and I’m betting lots of others have not, either.
