Color pattern in too uniform and head not right shape for a Bull Snake. I have breed several Bull and Fox snakes over the years - coloration and pattern is close, sort of, and Bulls are much bigger and more aggressive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190698551624574472.post-42723615146762415802009-08-17T08:43:10.147-07:002009-08-17T08:43:10.147-07:00Sharon, I wouldn't eat that snake--it's mu...Sharon, I wouldn't eat that snake--it's much too small. Also, after an incident involving a live snake one of my students brought me as a gift when I was teaching in China, the Quentin Taratino-esque scene that ensued from the student's attempts, with sizable audience, to dispatch the snake in my apartment's bathroom, I do not take lightly the potentially gruesome difficulties of snake slaughter. But our Wisconsin neighbors just down the hill mentioned that they've encountered quite a lot of bull snakes down their way, so I just wondered, for future reference, about general snake edibility.<br /><br />Teddy, had it been a full-grown bull snake, I might have had the same reaction....<br /><br />mdmnm, thanks for the resources, I may ask their opinion. As the oven is near our bird feeders, which attract plenty of mice and voles for fallen seed, I imagine our oven snake is eating pretty well.<br /><br />Update: I've found the snake under the oven tarp twice now. I guess it's found a home....<br /><br />Cheers, all~ BrettTrout Caviarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11236671377889601457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190698551624574472.post-9175188623342836172009-08-13T06:55:17.715-07:002009-08-13T06:55:17.715-07:00I'd ask Camera Trap Codger or Steve Bodio, but...I'd ask Camera Trap Codger or Steve Bodio, but I'm pretty sure all snakes are edible. <br /><br />Good rat and mouse catcher to have around your place!mdmnmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00191436711956580423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190698551624574472.post-69484886339728960832009-08-13T06:50:43.518-07:002009-08-13T06:50:43.518-07:00Odds are high that I would have shit myself if tha...Odds are high that I would have shit myself if that happened to me...HungryinSWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09186347342853297013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190698551624574472.post-17482916449858884982009-08-12T19:03:09.059-07:002009-08-12T19:03:09.059-07:00Yikes!

I realize that he practically placed himself inside your oven, but he was likely just thinking how kind it was of you to build him a house!Sharon Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093606285505207973noreply@blogger.com
