My son Joe was filling his tire (the noise you hear is the air compressor) when he walked out of the garage and saw the snake and took video. We have a couple ...
That is not a water moccasin. Looks like a rat snake, which are totally
harmless snakes. They are good to have around as they eat unwanted rodents
etc. Google " Agkistrodon piscivorus" (that's the scientific name for water
moccasin) and you can see pictures of what they look like. If you ever see
one, it would be wise to leave it alone. They are not aggressive and will
not bother you if you just leave them be. Have a great day:)
Thanks you are right. I wasn't home when this happened and didn't see it in
person. I grew up at a Rough River Lake and have seen lots of WM. My
neighbors pond has a lot of them too and we thought maybe one escaped lol.
I raise chickens and sell eggs will a rat snake hurt my chickens? I taught
my kids not to kill any animal unless they are going to eat it, that was my
son in the video. I'll change the video name.
That is the longest Moccasin I have ever heard of. Please tell me you did
not let it live. As far as I am concerned, there are really only 2 kinds of
snakes. Good ones and bad ones. The good ones are all dead ones.
