RAM1984: <<I am so happy that you released this harmless gopher snake. They resemble rattle snakes and are often killed needlessly. Your little friend is keeping mice out of your house. >> Well, I am glad to hear he's keepin' mice out! I didn't know he was a gopher snake. I did know he wasn't a rattler though thanks to my summer camp counselor experiences with those critters. Nearly sat on a nest of baby rattlers once and had two other close calls with them - one of which, like PixieGlitters story, did involve a shovel (and not for diggin' neither).
