Pretty freaking dizzy!
Okay, the saga continues...
I just found another skin. Must be the daddy. He's also 5 feet but a little fatter. There does not appear to be any pattern on either skin. So, I'm thinking mom and dad are solid black or brown or grey. (Unless all snake skins are solid???) The baby (Lug) looks a lot like the pine snake but also the rattler, the water snake, the grey rat snake and maybe a python. I'm pretty sure he's still in my engine compartment working his way through the firewall. Maybe I should take it in for another oil change... lol

snakes are awesome,i use to breed and sell them for about 12 years in florida people are taught to fear them as kids,i use to catch them as a kid. the rattlesnake round up people will see one day when they kill all the western diamond backs off and all the rodents breed and eat up all the vegetation and move onto there farms or homes to find more food,people dont think about the long term effect when they want to "play" with nature
that could be a pine snake shed,or coachwhip snake,or grey rat snake,that is not from a venomous snake,the shed is probably stretched some and the snake is not as long as that
i just gave away my last 2 hypo florida kings and sold off the rest of my cages.im surprised theres not more snake keepers with jeeps , when i went and got my insurance for my jeep the lady was telling me about them taking there 4wheelers to oatman (old mining town)down the back way ,if i go that way(since its right near my place) to watch for green rattlesnakes along the way that there real aggressive and will chase you,i thought it was funny but didnt want to be rude and laugh,i just wonder how these stories get spread to the point of snakes chasing you when you are driving a 4 wheeler. or chasing anyone at all .

they look pretty old,sheds will show a faint pattern if the snake is patterned,you also have corn snakes (red rat snake) in your area,but coachwhips have no pattern neither does the eastern indigo,but if the shed is aged it could have faded out.i still say ratsnake of some kind,pine snake,you also have eastern chain kings.all of which are harmless and wild ones may not even bite when picked up,dont kill any,they will eat the mice and chipmonks that can get in buildings and do alot of damage,or spred diseases.,looking closer at the bigger one looks like pine snake,very sought after in many reptile collections and get rather large
Mwwwwaaaaaaaa!Any idea how many babies rat snakes give birth to at once? Do I have 5 or 6 little guys around or is it more like 15 or 20?
Thanks for the info. I'm not going to kill them. In fact, I'm going to set up a few bird feeders around the yard today to draw in some prey.
Mwwwwaaaaaaaa!
