Thank you for not killing the snake....circle of life. If that snake was smart enough to catch that squirrel..good for him!!!
My dad USE to hang his prize champion canary cages on the back porch in the early summer mornings to let them get a little fresh air.
One time a snake had slithered up the rock wall of the house and got into the canary cage. Snake had a fine champion German roller canary for dinner that day. Lesson learned...snake set free.
Good story, thanks for sharing.. We lose eggs to the resident rat snakes but I don't mind sharing with them..
