On Vole Patrol

My wife said the voles are killing her flowers. Black Rat Snakes love Vole Patrol Duty. If you download you can see what I believe is oak pollen on its head.

I sould have used a smaller aperture to get the tongue in better focus.

Maybe I should have lain down next to the snake for reference. He was about 5 feet long.

The best critters you can have around unless you have laying hens. Two years ago I had two black snakes visit my henhouse. They both stuffed themselves with about 6 eggs each. I carried them about 500 yards away and let them go. They were back two days. I put them in a box and drove about 10 miles away and let em go. Haven’t seen them since.
I had to decide between good mole and vole control and my eggs. I chose the eggs.

Nice shots, I get them i my yard every year. Only problem is when they get into my pool and them can't get out.

I understand your feelings. I would probably choose the eggs myself. Unless I could train the snake to eat the rodents only.

Nice shots. Good snake, bad snake, I hate them all. That's just me.
I made the mistake of showing the photos to my wife. She agrees with you. I asked her which she would rather have, the snake or the voles. She chose the voles. Thanks for viewing and the kind comment.
ps. I might think differently about snakes if I lived in your state. Here in NJ I've only twice seen rattlesnakes. No other venomous snakes that I have come across in my state
