I'll try to make this short. I had a nice female hypo bloodred. Got out last August, and I found her dead in my basement 5 minutes ago. I think the younger cat may have found her? SIGH
She was still thick so never think they are doomed. No cat and she'd probably still be roaming the basement.
Early I posted my wife thought she saw this same snake in front of our house. I had some doubts, and believe it or not just yesterday the kids found a large eastern milk snake out front. The wife said no way that was the snake see saw. The one she saw was much fatter.
So I showed her pictures on the web of what "I said" were bloodreds. They were not they were massasaugas. YUP, she pretty much ID the snake as a mass... So now I think I have mass.. under my porch. Not a bad thing, except for people trying to plant flower in front of the porch. I need to pull a lot of stuff out, as we use it for storage, to collect what ever is there and relocate.
