Looks like we have another gray rat snake prowling around....
 

He left his calling card the other day.....

At least I think it is a gray rat snake, looking at the shed skin. Haven't seen him at the bird feeders yet.

Neat find. My folks have a few resident black rats on their property that we see frequently.

I found a black rat snake inside the house not long ago. Since the room wasn't well lit at the time my first thought wasn't that there was a wild snake in the house, it was that one of my own snakes had gotten loose. It wasn't until I picked it up that I realized the snake wasn't one of mine.

Spotted one leaving the house from an (until then) unknown hole in the wall.
