I was finally able to get a daytime pic of this lil booger. Every time I would see I wouldn't have my phone anywhere nearby.

Any idea what kind of snake that is?

Nope! I'm not much of a fan of the silent crawlers like snakes and spiders. I like to hear things coming!

Bull snake in the chicken nests. Caught him and relocated up the road a little way. I'd love to keep it around for rodent control, but eggs are so easy, it might abandon the mice hunts? Will be watching to see if it comes back...

Wow! Great pic of a fine looking animal!

Envious you are out in nature so much!
I was curious what they might eat, found this on wiki...I'll be curious to read if it returns, as rattlesnakes are said to, if relocated close by. Wonder how they know? Smell? Magnetic sense of direction? The suns passage?

Oh he'll be back cause like you said eggs are easy.

That's what I'm thinking. I didn't paint-spot him, so I don't know how I'll tell if it's another or the same one.
