Snake in the Roebilini

bananimal · 09-22-2009, 01:23 PM

When you are down on the ground pulling weeds it pays to look up once in a while. Here's another black racer not content with ground level foraging. Like the cornsnake I found nose to nose in a Goldfinger bunch in the dead male flowers.

Got him on the ground, pinned him with a stick and tossed him over the fence like all the rest. This must be the 40th snake I caught in 4.5 years in PSL, FL.

wow. that's one long snake! I would be creeped out if I was nose to nose with one and i didn't know if it was venomous or not. I love snakes but when they start showing fangs, that's when I get the heck outta dodge! LOL

The only good snake is the one I CAN'T see!...Yes I'll admit the big man is afraid of the lil snake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eric · 09-23-2009, 06:57 AM

Wow!! Sweet shot! Never seen one up in the trees before But Racers DO like to be wherever they shouldn't be

!!

LilRaverBoi · 09-23-2009, 03:20 PM

Awesome! Black Racers are pretty cool snakes. We caught two in my Field Herpetology class and raced them. LOL...it was awesome! They are pretty fast....it's a fitting name!

Eric · 09-23-2009, 04:39 PM

They're great but just a little too hyper

! They go nutty sometimes & just wanna bite everything! Fun though

! Bull snakes are even better! Found one during a Scout outing. Almost made a pet out of it But luv hybernating armadillas even more. Scout master didnt like it much though. He found it in his sleeping bag

!! Learned something new, too. Hybernating armadillos DONT like being woke up!! Scout master never found out who did it & I'm Sure Denny's real happy about that.

well look on the bright side you don't have a rodent problem right?

Christine1950 · 09-24-2009, 09:47 AM

I wish someone had advised me to look up when I'm in the yard. Check out the pic I posted in my gallery. There was another one even bigger than the one in my pic. It to is a black racer. Gosh how I hate snakes

here is a big snake.

YouTube - The largest dead snake ever found, over 50 feet.

mjdsinsacto · 09-24-2009, 12:36 PM

Don't like ssssssssssssssssssnakes! I can't even type the word, it makes me shiver and grimace just .... oh, i can't go on.

I'm thinking of getting the overhanging tree branches from the neighbor's yard pruned. It hangs just overhead into mine and I've a large fern I hung on it a month or so ago that I fuss (mist) with several times a day. After reading this thread, I'm spooked about snakes in the grass, overhead, hiding in the plants.

I'm not stepping out there without first poking each plant and the grass with a vvvvvvvvvvery long stick. I did this morning. I would die of fright if i ever have a close encounter with these things. don't care how big, small, nonpoisonous. sorry, they're just creepy. I can't even watch the video below. nope, ain't gonna click on that button. no siree!

LilRaverBoi · 09-24-2009, 12:52 PM

JESUS CHRIST, SB.....I'm not even scared of snakes and that scared the CRAP out of me! You're a terrible person! LOL.

Simply Bananas · 09-24-2009, 12:54 PM

I saw it at 4:30 am. No coffee necessary!

mjdsinsacto · 09-24-2009, 01:47 PM

here's a chilling thought.

there have been reported instances where these creatures (i can't say the S word anymore today .....brrrrrrrrrr!) crawled up plumbing pipes and out through your toilet. yeah, creepy but too true. large ones ...

now, i''ve completely freaked myself out. note to self: don't forget to put 50lb weight on toilet seat tonight before going to bed.

P.S. to self: keep light on!

Eric · 09-25-2009, 01:31 PM

ROFL ROFL!!!!!! Totally Luv'd the surprise ending!! Super Thanx

, Simply Bananas!!

But Luv'd the one about Fluffy, the Reticulated Python, even better!! That one was at the bottom when the 1st video ended!! Pythons are beautiful snakes & that one was huge. Anyone who didnt watch that video, should. It gives lots of great info on Reticulated Pythons with close-ups of the sign near it's pen!!
Snakes make great pets, I've had 2 so far (including a Bull snake)!
Rattlers are really pretty but they're more for eating. If anyone's interested, I've got a great recipee for Rattlesnake (tastes a little like chicken).

Fried Rattlesnake
Start with a freshly killed snake. Have a deep skillet of hot oil standing by. Skin the snake (can use the skin for crafts)! Cut the meat into 3 & 4 inch pieces. Roll the pieces in a mixture of flour, corn meal, milk, & egg. Add salt & pepper (can experiment with spices if you like). Deep fry in the hot oil. Serve hot!
Great with taters and crisscross buns with honey!
