Ric,

Black Snakes are very good climbers......they can go right up a tree...

I had one several summers ago...Only saw it for one day. I was so intrigued i followed it with my camera for over an hour....Wish it was back to cull the chipmunks and other small critters....
They seem to come and go. Where this one came from--or went to--I have NO idea. Kind of scared me a bit--as ANY snake would do.

One day my neighbors came outside on their patio, and there was a huge black snake sunning itself on the concrete--it's tail wrapped around the leg of one of the chairs....Out of nowhere!
BOY! Did they freak!

here's mine--I got a bit close with my camera and it objected....it was about 4' long--slithered around the side bed and then went and climbed into my old Juniper bushes. I stayed with it and then I saw TWO heads....
Well--they did their "thing" and came down on the other side and proceeded to slither under my front, concrete
steps. Man! I had visions of a nest-full of snakes next year and crazy thoughts of them finding their way into the house somewhere in the foundation....Yuk!
Never did see them again!
