Greenhouse: Eaten Alive, 1 by Xeramtheum

I have too many snakes in my yard for mice and rats thank goodness, only those nasty tree rats with the busy tails .. I keep telling my black snake with the bad attitude to go after them but I've never seen him eating one .. that black snake is about 3.5 feet long and is one cranky snake, I'm always careful to carry my loaded hose on jet when I'm in the yard in the early mornings or evening, if he's bored or hungry he'll literally chase me .. I'll hit him with the hose on jet and that usually backs him off .. usually but not always .. in desperation once, I did a crocodile hunter manoever on him by grabbing his tail and threw him over the fence on the upswing .. he turned around, slithered thru the fence and came for me .. I retreated into the house .. by this time of year, anoles outside the greenhouse are getting sparse because the garter snakes and black snakes eat them. Since there is a screen door on the greenhouse they can't get in there so the greenhouse is sort of an anole/skink haven. there is a garter snake that will come watch me when I'm digging cause he knows I'll throw him any grubs I find. He's been around a couple of years now .. kind of like an old friend. When I see him in the spring I know it's warm enough to plant out seedlings.
