Baiting snakes

If he relocates, can I have his sunroom?

First of all I would like to thank everyone for all of their kind words. As it has been warming up they have been getting much more active and are pretty much ignoring the light. As a matter of fact they were spread out all over the room on the window sills today. So I expect that it will not be long before they will be leaving. I have no plans to feed them, but I will make an effort to find and photograph them once they leave. I went down to do a couple of things today: To get a couple of photos for the contest, and to take a good one of the milk snake. I am afraid that we may start to wind down soon. Rest assured, if I see anything interesting going on I will post it.

you realize - you cannot ever move from that house
they'll be back
your sun-porch is part of their habitat and you need to protect it

Terry, I think you should enter that first photo (from todays offering) in this months photo competition. It's perfect, I'll vote for it!

[International significance: The witness protection program is a program run by federal law enforcement officials in the USA. It is rarely used (as far as I know), but it protects, relocates, and gives a new identity to people who testify against major criminals in order to protect them from revenge].

You know they made a weird book called "I am the Cheese" that we read last year about that. In the end you realize that the government is evil and stuff like that (In the book anyway).

Keep them coming as long as it lasts!

How are things legally organized with snakes where you live, Terry?
Are you breaking any laws by this? Not that I mind

The man can’t touch me see!!! I ain’t dun nutten wrong see!!!
Of 17 species of snakes in NY State only 3 are protected: Eeastern massasauga and timber rattlesnakes and queen snake (can’t disturb them), all others are unprotected (which means you can do pretty much anything you like with them). There is a prohibition on keeping dangerous reptiles, but does not apply to any of the native species. Besides they broke into my house!

hey Terry ... I had not thought of it before, but how fortunate that these animals found 'your' sunroom. I imagine there to be some folks that would be quite put off by your visitors, lol ...

enjoy your day ...
