Be careful! Once daylight hit, I noticed I wasn't alone. He hasn't budged all morning.....

Ran into one a few weeks ago and posted on here. These warm temps have them out more than usual.

Gray Rat Snake. Leave him be. He is one of the good ones.

I was about to ask what he was. I was thinking if that was a cottonmouth I'd be rethinking climbing a tree in the dark in there!

Looks like a big sucker. I've never planned on skydiving, but I might have been doing just that right at daybreak

Yes, definitely a rat snake. 3.5 hrs later.....dude just now started to wither down the branch. I don't care how non-poisonous he may be, scared the crap out of me.

Great snakes. Rarely even offer to bite

Have seen plenty this time of year, but never had one in a tree with me.

The word 'rarely' is way to often for me!! I'm out !!! Best I can figure there are not but 5 kinds of snakes I don't like. Live ones , dead ones , big ones , little ones and rubber ones and if I forgot one I'm sorry.
