That it does as well as eats any small birds in the shrubs that it can catch.

Like I said, to me it is a beautiful critter, but to my wife, "EEEE", Get that dammed thing away from me!!

He, He!!

Our daughter had a snake in bushes by the front door. She and her daughters were afraid of it. My wife reached in and carefully grabbed the snake. She let them have a look up close...Then she put the snake back ....After that they were better and just ignored it.

Back in the early '80's, I did the same thing up at Berrien Springs, MI one Sat. with our three little ones, but this snake was wrapped around a guy sitting on the street on the tailgate of a beater P/U. It was a 14' or so long constrictor!!

I let them pet it to feel it.

And the guy was just tickled pink to show off his big snake to my kids.

And I do have to say, the big SOB was beautiful after I got close enough to see it good!!

We also have at least one black snake around our front door. I just ignore it.

We have had them try to enter the house. They can be very single-minded -- a sturdy broom and quick reflexes helps.

My Father-in-law cannot tolerate snakes but that is due to many experiences in Vietnam.

Another friend told me about venomous brown snakes in Vietnam getting up into aircraft.

Under my winter bird feeder in the summer, I once weed-eated a blue racer before I realized what I had done.

The little sucker was beautiful!!

I had never seen a blue racer before, wished I hadn't killed it.
