Rat Snake’s Incredible Skills 🐍

Contrary to common belief, not all black snakes pose a danger. Recently, we had an encounter with our resident black rat snake. This snake makes an appearance at least twice a year, usually during the summertime. During one such occasion, we were fortunate enough to capture it on camera. Interestingly, despite our presence, the snake struck some impressive poses for the shots. It’s worth emphasizing that these black rat snakes are non-venomous and pose no threat to humans.” 🐍📸
Isn’t it fascinating how wildlife can surprise us sometimes?

That's a neat experience, especially to have one in the backyard. When we're back in Eastern Ratsnakes territory, they are always a favorite to find.

Great video on a worthy subject. Really enjoyed enjoyed seeing the Rat Snake's movement across the top of the fence and the successful transition to the tree branch. Learned something new today. Thank you!

Our pleasure!

Super cool to watch the snake move across the metal fence pole. Awesome, interesting video!

Glad you enjoyed it

That was super cool. I encountered one of these when I was about five years old riding my bicycle. I was scared to death. After describing it to some adults they said it was harmless but to keep a safe distance. Thanks for video.

Thank you for your comment and visit Bret. I'm sure that I would have had the same reaction at 5 too.

Interesting! Is there a way to design a catio so that no snakes can get in?

[@BackyardBertha]

Not that I know of? This was not near the catio.
