True, but in general you don't see it that often. Not here anyway. Rat and chicken snakes can and will in a hay barn, I have seen that.

There's a shit load of different species here.

 

Hey Everybody!

Snakes are active in Florida almost year around.....they get a bit lethargic when the temps get below about 40 F or 5C....that that last only a few days at most.

 

The only snakes people can buy here are non-venomous, so if one would escape it's not that bad

Well, that is not true here.....pythons have been either released or escaped into the everglades in south Florida a few decades ago...the are non-poisonous, but large constrictors.....their population there is exploding and a serious threat to native species, including snakes, birds and mammals.....I suspect the State and Federal governments will be spending millions of $ to control the population of this evasive species....

 

We got rattlesnakes out here. Like 5 or 6 varieties.

 

I had snakes like

Same here. There's a creek not very far from my house so a stray cotton mouth has been known to come up too. They usually leave as quick as they come thank God. I REALLY hate those.

 

Good day Cold & Merlin.......and Bama!

 

Catch those pythons and sell them here in the Netherlands

 

Hi Scribbels

 

I saw a show on cable not long ago about efforts to determine exactly what those snakes are up to. There's a tag and release program where the put a GPS reciever on the bigger ones and then track them. Eventually I think they recapture the snake and destroy it after adding it's behavior and whatnot to the Depatment of Wildlife database.

 

Too many of them and many are well over ten feet in length, weighting over 60 pounds....frankly, I would give them an express ticket to snake heaven.

 

Greetings Ice.

 

Bet there are quite some places where they would love to have those snakes
