Even a snake needs water apparently. This bull snake was visiting the water for the bees. It was huge-around 5 feet long. I just read that bull snakes and gopher snakes are actually the same snake and do need water!
If I met a snake who was five feet long, I do not think that I would be around long enough to get acquainted. He could be a bull snake. He could be a gopher snake. I don’t care! We get rattlesnakes only rarely, and they get killed right away.
I’m scared of any snakes when I run into them unexpectedly, but only rattlesnakes get killed. It is just too dangerous with children and playful dogs around.
The snake is beautiful as so many snakes are. Too many people have an instant reaction to kill a snake when they see one instead of letting them just go about their business and lives. Thank you for appreciating this beautiful creature.
Bravo-Elodie just told me if you have a bull snake around, you usually don’t have rattlesnakes which would scare me for my critters but we love all snakes.
