I lived surrounded by water last time I lived down here and didn't have snakes. Maybe the cats ate them.

I don't know where you all are getting these snakes. I lived in a wooded area in Patuxent Beach for years and never saw a snake. Lived in Frederick for years and never saw a snake. Now all of a sudden everybody's infested with snakes.

I was down on the lower 40 checking out all the Bluebird boxes for nests when I saw a lil head sticking out of one of the boxes-dang if it wasn't a black snake! I removed the screw that holds on and out plopped a 5'er! Seems he was shedding and needed a safe place and a rough surface to shed his skin. I gathered him up and took him to the barn and put him in the loft.
I'm hoping that nest was used when he took up his temporary residence.

One of the civilians at work thinks he's the original 'Crocodile Hunter' and will bring in snakes he's caught while out maintaining the facilities into the office to scare the bejesus out of the guys. I'm fascinated by what he brings but bitter that's he's scaring the snakes.
He brought a cotton mouth in yesterday. Very cool. Then I found out he killed it. Very uncool.

Anytime you want to relocate a snake, feel free to move it to my yard. I like snakes. Reptiles of all kinds actually. I was mulching my garden last night, using chuck co landfill mulch I stockpiled 2 years ago, and caught a mature skink and a juvenile skink that were living in the mulchpile. Just missed catching a second mature one. Put the 2 I caught in a 5 gallon bucket till the kiddos got home, showed them to them and thn let them go in the garden.

How would a snake get up there in the first place?

Now I'm going to be freaking out every time I walk out my door. :shudder:
Snakes are good climbers. They also hang out in trees.
