Not normal characteristics for a black racer, but same species can have different personalities

I use a 7 iron. Does a great job on all kind of snakes. Food for birds.

Don't kill black snakes
 

Snakes lives matter

Now that is funny.

But think that females will protest over the loss of bags.

Yes- we had one steal a baby bird from its nest right outside our lanai. We were unable to stop it😠 it slithered away with the bird😢

If they were all dead we would be overrun with rats and mice. I prefer the current balance of nature, than you. And people, I hope the talk of guns was just a joke! Talk about overkill!

Black Racer
 

I have had many black racer snake encounters on my lot. They keep getting into my pool birdcage. Every single one of them has been very aggressive. I did some research online and found out that they are generally very aggressive when startled or approached. Also, if bitten, you need to see a doctor immediately because they care many bacteria in their mouths that are very harmful to humans. It doesn’t matter that they are not venomous. All that being said, I have let them all live because thy are a good part of the ecosystem as a whole.

If you really want to scare them use 7 iron! :)

What a horrible thing to say. If it wasn't for the snakes, The Villages would be overrun with rats and other vermin.

And cheating husbands:duck:

Not in residential area, you will be arrested especially in this trying times.

I guess people don't know that it is against the law to kill the Eastern Indigo snakes [ black snake ] they are an endangered species. If you don't think there are rats and mice all over in TV, then you must be blind.

sticky trap
 

I use the sticky rat trap in my garage for insects and I have been surprised to see all the things it catches. One time I saw a snake skin on the sticky pad. I guess the snake was able to shed its skin and get away.
Another time I saw that I had run over a snake with my car and its body was flat from the tire. I got a stick to get it out of the garage and was shocked to see it was still alive! I got a longer stick and took it out to the curb. All the dogs that went by wanted to sniff it but even they were afraid. LOL

Should have bought her a nice juicy rat for lunch, and you could have remained friends.
