As sad as this is, this is human nature. Black snakes are good to have around. We get snakes out here all the time, of course, we have to watch, as we also have poisonous ones. When we have black ones, hubby usually just picks them up (with gloves on) and throws them over the fence. A few years ago, we had a rabbit that had babies, they had their nest on the ground by a tree out back. All they do is dig a small spot. I saw hubby outside on the john deere stopped watching something. I could see a mother rabbit jumping back and forth. I asked hubby what was going on. Well, the snake had eaten two of the 3 baby bunnies and the mother was trying to save them. It broke my heart. I asked hubby why did you let it eat the babies, he said it's nature(and it really is). After that snake was done, it crawled up the tree. |
