Default Bull Snakes are doing well in the South

The Bull Snakes are doing really well again this year, not uncommon to see half dozen a day while exercising the dog. Took some video of a couple mating yesterday, something you don’t see often. Was lucky enough to video some Rattlers doing the dance prior to the largest male breading the female about a half hour later a couple years ago.

Great to hear-they look big and healthy (never seen one live). Really nice pics and appreciate the share.

If I came around the corner of my shop and saw that I would become totally unglued.

That's great to see , they really do a number on the rodents . Bullsnakes are the earliest to leave the den site or hibernaculum , sometimes they share it with rattlesnakes , which they sometimes eat .

I think it’s right in the lease agreement. “You are welcome to stay but I may or may not kill you and eat you, depending on how I feel on a particular day”

That sounds more like a marriage than a lease agreement.
