Dear God, climbing the dovetail notches!

Good looking snake! Nice of you to let him hang around the house.
Yeah,no. No snakes at the house.
I like snakes….they keep other small critters to a minimum !!!
My wife would not harm it but would demand I move it
Her dad use to have a couple black snakes that stayed close to the back door steps and he worned every one do not hurt them .
Nice black rat snake, a friend.
Would that snake eat a squirrel? He might have been hunting, because where you can see the ends of the pine logs look so rough, that is because squirrels climb up there and gnaw on the white pine logs. I have shot some squirrels, I have trapped a few with the Hav-a-Hart and relocated, squirrels are stubborn.
I saw a big Blacksnake catch a squirrel behind my home a few years ago.
PS, that's not even a pit viper.
Going leave it as is or relocate it, Alan?
Didn't we go through this same thing a month or so ago?
I did not harm this snake, I let him be, I am sick of rodents damaging my house, and the wiring in my car. Go, Black Snakes!
Not that I recall. I think Allen knows I am poking fun. He knows exactly what it is.
I am also tired of squirrels eating the wiring in my vehicles. I want snakes or more snakes. I'm sure they're there somewhere. So far, I've got 2 squirrels and a chipmunk. And I just saw 2 more squirrels darting about under my wife's car. Snakes are my friends.
I put rat traps under the hood in my vehicles and zip tie them in place in the 2nd battery tray (truck was made with diesel's as well so had 2 battery trays). I've killed a few field mice, a pack rat, and stripped the tail off a squirrel which made the culprit easy to identify and cull afterwards.
You will probably see him inside the house sometimes later. Just hope it's not at night crawling across your neck while in bed asleep.
Them just have teeth, not fangs.
How do I know that?
#12 Dust @ close range is great TREAT for crawly critters😍
'Cause you did something less than bright. How do I know that?
