Some jackass run over my black racer. It lived in the mole holes in my yard and I was very familar with it. Yall please dont kill every snake you see. Most of em are good.
That sucks!
I'm probably considered a weirdo, but I like snakes.
I saw a 5 foot black rat snake laying on the road, and stopped to remove it, ticked off some one ran over it, come to be she was sunning her self, so I kept it.
It kept biting the hell out of me which made me think it might be a black racer as black rat snakes aren't usually that aggressive, after checking under side, it was a black rat snake but felt that she was gravid, (with eggs).
She laid 11 eggs, I took them, hatched all 11, raised them for a year, then released all, including the mother, close to where I found the mother, but away from the road.
Thought of catching a few for my sparrow problem but haven't.
