I never post here because I own ball pythons, but this is good stuff. All my neighbors know I am into reptiles, especially snakes and last night @10:00 man across the street came over and asked if I could come over. His 120lb Rottweiller was freaking out in the yard and jumped into the back of his truck, he said he had a snake on his driveway and wanted me to check it out, wondering if it was a venomous snake or one of mine. Told him there was no way it was one of mine, but I would see what it was. So I run over to his house and on the driveway is a 3ft. yellow ratsnake. I told him what kind of snake it is, it's not venomous, and since his Rottweiller is freaking out over it, I would remove it from his property. Well, I got my butt kicked! lol! It got a little bite on middle finger left hand, a good bite on index finger left hand, a good bite on left wrist, a little bite on index finger right hand, and gnawed the crap out my thumb right hand. I looked like I was in a fight with a rose bush and lost, big time! Needless to say, I brought the snake to my backyard and let it go. I know it didn't stay there, but if it is out of my neighbors sight, then it's out of his mind. The snake wouldn't die. Even though I lost the fight, it sure was fun. Thanx for reading.
