I don't think I could live in a place without big snakes -- though not, perhaps as big as those Burmese ball pythons which I gather are taking over central Florida. Come to think of it, black rat snakes are pussycats, even down to their choice of prey. Thanks.

I thought maybe it was because I left the hills of Northern Kentucky for the more cleared, flatter Bluegrass. That was thirty years ago. I haven't seen any snake bigger around than my finger for a long, long time. That is one impressive specimen you've got there. I haven’t seen a black snake for years.

We've always had them around the farm, so I had assumed they were common everywhere. But I should've known better. It's actually pretty easy to eradicate local populations of most herptiles.

I've never seen anything larger than a garter snake around here. That’s so cool! Very large snake. I’ve never seen anything larger than a garter snake around here.
