F some wicd snakes I foundin my yard basking in the sun today! I took these picks and posted them just a little while ago after I saw them all. I had to use a homeade snake stick because they didn't want to hold still for the camra.lol! They were all prety great but were hissing at me, trying to bite and striking and such. I m prety sure they were all Bull SNAKES or similer speciecies.

And part 2.:a redish one.

tHose are beutiful snakes but I did nt keep them. I decided to set them free back in the yard. Hopefully I will see them again later this year and will be ale to research there activity and such. I will let evryone know of there behaviors. Since I know I have lizards there to, they have plenty of food to eat and such.

and to think you guys once thought this guy was schofield...

moving snakes (or any animal) has been proven to be wrong and fatal...the PA Fish and Boat Commision did research on timber rattlers at least and if moved they will usually die...I forget how far...1/4 mile or more comes to mind.....they grew up knowing where to find food and water and hiding / brumating spots, when moved they are lost and will not find what they need in time to survive...

we now frown against all movings....

people here do it to....turtles and snakes are moved closer to home all the time...

...have fun,....good luck....!!! thanxx for the pics...cameras are a wonderful thing....even though I don't use them...LOL...

Oh yeah I know! There prety great!! I never would sqush a SNAKES neck or any other creatures neck either, I love all creatures and such. I delicatly used my hook to gently control her intaking the photos for my reasearch and posts. Because she was most aggressive more than most. LuckY I didn't get bit but I almost did. Lol! That rimes! Anyways, Thanks for talking back to me about it! :}.

You going to produce some more of that red hyper-erythristic "grass" next to the bullsnake as well??

Here's another photo of some without the bullsnake.
