Granddad ALWAYS kept at least one Bull snake in the grain barn! They are scary looking rascals and hiss to sound just like a rattler, but there will be NO mice around when you have a friendly neighborhood Bull snake in residence. As far as I know, they aren't poisonous, but they will scare the devil out of you if you surprise one.

I very calmly watched a black rat snake crawl off my porch 2 days ago. I am hoping he will eat the mole that is making my life miserable.

The rattlesnake I saw at the end of the porch last summer is still dead.

If the Brits are betting on this, I'll back the rats.

Skinner: Well, I was wrong. The lizards are a godsend.


Lisa: But isn't that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we're overrun by lizards?


Skinner: No problem. We simply unleash wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes. They'll wipe out the lizards.


Lisa: But aren't the snakes even worse?


Skinner: Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat.


Lisa: But then we're stuck with gorillas!


Skinner: No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.

AN Indonesian district head on Tuesday released 100 snakes to help farmers fight rats which have wreaked havoc with the local rice harvest, a report said. Aided by two snake experts, Sleman District Chief Ibnu Subiyanto freed the snakes, averaging two metres long at 15 separate locations in rice fields in Cangkringan, near the central Java city of Yogyakarta, the state Antara news agency said. The released snakes included pythons, the report said.
