Re: There goes the neighborhood
Ooooh, it looks like a very healthy bull snake ( link )
I hear they taste like chicken, and they'll also eat your chickens... as well as any rats.
If you don't have any vermin on your property he'll probably find more favorable grounds. If you do, then I'd say you're pretty fortunate for having him around.

Re: There goes the neighborhood
correct,on the bull snake call. I have had to pick up and relocate way too many of them.
They are usually very easy going and actually good to have around.

That milk snake as we call them here are very common but not that big, yeah they will eat a rattler like a black snake, the venom from from a rattler does not bother them.

Re: There goes the neighborhood
Yes Sir...Big <span style="font-weight: bold">Bull Snake </span>right there!!!
If you ever get a chance to play with one push him around with a stick.....
...they coil just like a Rattler and wiggle the end of their tails giving off the impression that they are a rattler so you or any thing else will haul butt away......
they are about the only snake I won't kill.....just because they are a natural enemy to the rattler!!

Don't look too closely then. Pituouphis inhabit most of the more temperate southern US, including your neck of the woods.
It took over 100 mice to make him. I'd rather stumble on a snake than deal with dispatching that many mice.

Re: There goes the neighborhood
I think this one is too light to be a bull snake? I think the Bull snake has similar markings but is much darker in its banding??

Re: There goes the neighborhood
One of God's beautiful creatures. If people in the area are scared of it then by all means relocate the snake. But please do not kill such a fine specimen unless you are going to eat it, then by all means enjoy. But to kill it without utilizing it is a waste of the big guy's endeavors. Tom.

Re: There goes the neighborhood
When I worked on a F&W Refuge in MT. there were a few bull snakes that liked to live around the buildings... When you are not expecting to run into them they will sure startle you. I think they like scare people. I have seen them kill rattlers.

Laffin....one of them bit my wife in the yard a couple of years ago and she would have liked to have died of fright. Local doctor told her she was good to go...just had a chewed up spot on her leg.

Re: There goes the neighborhood
My wife discovered a Bull snake curled up in the toilet of our vacation home and she totally freaked out. We spent that night in a motel on that trip.
Now, every time she goes to the restroom she takes our Labrador retriever with her...problem is, the dog is just as scared of snakes as she is.

Re: There goes the neighborhood
They go by various names: Bull snake, Gopher snake, or Pine snake. I used to have one as a pet.

Re: There goes the neighborhood
Got Rats?
I wish there were more bull snakes where I live!
I'm sick of the pack rats pissing on my roof!
I need to get a scaled down electric fence around my roof!

Re: There goes the neighborhood
My parents live here in Havasu too, but on the edge of town, the guy across the street from them was in his garage and this HUGE rattlesnake came into it. Going for the back door really fast, on its six was a HUGE kingsnake! The battle was in the back yard, Kingsnake won.
Out hunting a few years ago, my buddy and I came across a rattlesnake by Kingman in the mountains, that was enormous. I went to grab my rifle, we were in the truck, and when I turned around with rifle, it had taken off at mach 2. I had no clue how fast they move, zero, nada, zip.

You see any of those baja rattlesnakes coming over the border illegally into the kingman area? neat snakes but they need to go to the back of the line, get their papers in order and come here legally!

Snakes are great, spiders are what I hate(well I like tarantulas, wolf spiders and jumping spiders) Whole foods in Tulsa had an incident with a banana spider chasing people around the store hissing. Those things will kill through cunvulsions in 10 minutes! Whole foods imports non-insecticide bananas so the spiders come in and terrify all the hippies and yuppies.
