I was told it’s a rat snake. I was going to kill it but I didn’t. My son let it go.

We used to find them in the chicken coop. They kept down the rodent population.

LOL. I once renovated an old farm house. Every time we pulled down a ceiling in a new room, at least one shedded snake skin would fall down. We had a snake in the house once that I knew about, and on the second floor, no less. It was a big one, too. They do keep the mice population down.

Holy Mackeral, that is one of my biggest fears when in Florida. Never mind the lizards on the windows and in the yards

I think its a beautiful animal, thank you for not killing it.

I don’t Like snakes at all but I don’t like killing animals unless I’m attacked.

What a beautiful Black Snake! We have them here, and yes - mice and rats are at a minimum with them around. The Cooper's and Sharp shinned hawks take care of the bunny population down as well!

I found what I think was a larger garter snake in my garden the other day. Even that gave me a scare! I honestly didn't even know they could get very big. I think as long as the snake isn't poisonous, I'm okay with them.

Snakes are not my favorite but I would love one around to keep down the rats around my house. I would probably let one slither around under my house if it found rats like the lizards I let run around my house when they get in. But my hubby hates snakes. It is a beautiful Black Snake. The problem at my house when the weather warms up I see more rattlesnakes than Garter Snakes or King Snakes. They have a corner and a rock where they like to lay and warm up.

Now when it comes to spiders Obsidian knows my opinion of them.... squish yup even the big hairy ones... sorry for the little hijack just could not resist.

I was owned by a pair of Ball Pythons and a Rosey Boa. I like all kinds of animals but can NOT deal with roaches under any terms! Spiders and Millipedes have the basement to live in.
