Any suggestions on how to learn to love these creatures or least accept them without fear?

Their most common food source is mice, rats, voles and other rodents that are primarily found in agricultural areas. They even eat lizards, snakes, snake eggs and bird eggs. When food is less readily available, they may also consume their dangerous look-alike cousin, the coral snake! https://www.scienceabc.com/nature/animals/what-are-milk-snakes.html On May 30, 2022, at 11:09 AM, Sara Mattes <[email protected]> wrote: All, Do these feed on mice and small rodents…or chicken eggs? ------ Sara Mattes On May 30, 2022, at 9:55 AM, <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Martha- I believe it’s an Eastern Milk snake. From your picture, it might be this variety, but they have many striking patterns and they are nonvenomous. I have one that’s taken up residence in an hollowed out tree trunk.

It's been curled up like this all afternoon and into the early evening in a pool pump shed. For size reference, the light bulb is a basic incandescent. Snake looks to me much bigger than basic garter snake. Martha Johnson -- The LincolnTalk mailing list. To post, send mail to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>.
