- Description
- This snake was making its way up a plant to get to 3 baby birds in a hanging plant at 9 pm . It was about 36 inches and less than 1 inch diameter. I carried it 50 yrds away. If I see it again I will move it farther. . Snake returned at 1130 am for Sunday brunch. See daylight photos. I scared her/him off again. Snake has returned several times to try to eat baby birds. Moved further away maybe 75 yds and she has not returned that I can see.
