We have this black snake on our property. It's made a home in the rocks outside our birdcage, and the hole is eroding and getting larger. We want to evict it, but of course not kill it. Any advice on how we can get it to leave it's dwelling so we can fill the hole?

Many thanks!
IMO Black racer Trying to get out of cold, that looks like back yard drain? The drain air warmer than air above it. I would just leave it alone he will move on, or go out with leather glove on wrestle it out hole and put him in bag haul him off to woodlands. But, you will have more insect, lizard, small rodent protection cause that’s what he eaten around your property. I have one that makes his rounds about every 2 or 3 weeks when weather warm. When I see him I shoo him away. IMO they are in hibernation mode and too early for nesting.
