I caught a SNAKE yesterday

A black rat snake, native and non-venomous.

I heard birds screaming in the front yard and found this fella in the bush when I investigated. Moved them to the woods so neighbors wouldn’t try and kill it!

They’re one of the longest snakes in North America! This one seemed healthy and well fed. I’ve never held a snake this big before but it was exciting :3 (I think the biggest I’ve held was a corn snake at 4H camp)
