Meet King George

DustyTrailsHorseRescue · 05-07-2008, 07:04 PM

He/she moved in the barn a couple of weeks ago but was nice enough to leave the skin behind for a fair warning

. I am a snake phobic, but I prefer a king snake that eats the venomous ones!! Oh, and the mice are GONE

.

Sorry for the picture size

Carri · 05-07-2008, 07:05 PM

He's a big one!

Beautiful snake.. and even prettier since the snake is in your barn..

DustyTrailsHorseRescue · 05-07-2008, 07:08 PM

I can tell him to bring his friend and you all could have one

.

**gbarmranch** · 05-07-2008, 07:09 PM

NOOOOOOO

OOOOOOOO

BarnBum · 05-07-2008, 07:10 PM

OMG, I would totally

myself I saw him !! I don't mind snakes either, esp. the nonvenomous ones that help with the mice/rat population. He definatly has found a good home and well fed ..... He is huge <and beautiful> What a face too !!!

In the summer time I find black snakes in my barn eating the frogs. I have the food chain going in my barn ...... Frogs eat the bugs and the snakes eat the frogs.

I don't bother them and they don't both me ........ Probly what you do with King George !!!

Saelym · 05-07-2008, 07:14 PM

Whoa.. he's a big one! I'm not really a huge fan of snakes either, but I don't mind them! He's pretty.

He's beautiful! Congratulations on your vermin control. I have no problem with snakes. Freaked out my daughters' Girl Scout troop several years ago, and picked up a little garter snake that was laying in the grass. Most of the girls got away pretty quickly except for mine and one other.

GAGIRL · 05-07-2008, 07:59 PM

You are welcome to keep him!!!!

pasomystic · 05-07-2008, 10:22 PM

He's great--I am jealous, up here we have to buy kingsnakes, lol.

roberts617 · 05-07-2008, 10:36 PM

Holy cow, he is seriously posing!!

He's pretty, but you can keep him! I'll keep my cats!!

**taelesean** · 05-07-2008, 10:45 PM

Yah! Now there's a better mousetrap indeed!

DustyTrailsHorseRescue · 05-07-2008, 10:55 PM

Of course my new fancy living mouse trap does have its drawbacks: I move VERY slow in my barn now. And believe it or not every lead rope looks like a snake

now.

ilovepaints1 · 05-08-2008, 08:27 AM

He is kinda cute! I wouldnt bother him either unless he was venomous or hanging around where my kids play or something.

KatieMae · 05-08-2008, 08:29 AM

Whoa! Not what I was expecting...

**Orchid** · 05-08-2008, 08:44 AM

I like him.

Nothing better than a snake for mouse control!

GreyDot · 05-08-2008, 10:12 AM

Lucky you! Best mousers EVER, and you don't have to worry about them breeding like unspayed cats, either!

Jaspur · 05-08-2008, 10:53 AM

Holy crap - we never see any snakes that size up here!! We just get the little garter snakes... I'd pass out if I saw that in the barn

MVeventer · 05-08-2008, 11:03 AM

Holy crap. I have to say I am not afraid of snakes necessarily, and we have no poison snakes where I live, so I have no reason to be afraid, but honestly, if I walked in the barn and saw that I am fairly certain I would birth a cow....
