Maybe I should have killed him before taking his picture?

On the hunt for some grub. Up early and on his job.

Wow. Some sort of king or rat snake?

Ebony coral snake. You’re lucky to be alive.

 

[RiverBend]

King Snake, killer of poisonous snakes.

[C'mon man!]

Looks exactly the same size as the one I found cutting grass on Saturday. I took it to show my 17 month son, before releasing him far from the dogs. I have no idea where he learned "snake", but he said it.

I had a 4' king snake I would see in my driveway hunting lizards a couple times in the last couple years, haven't seen him in a while though.

Glad you didn't kill it.
