The past few egg gathering days I have noticed that some of the green eggs have been disappearing, have them in the morning but only one or two when I collect around 5-6p. Leading me to think maybe a snake is eating them? No 4 leg critter as the coop is wired all around and behind chain link fence. I have no chickens dead or missing.

So I bought a game cam to install. I was going to go with wifi outdoor cam but we have this stupid google wifi and its mesh junk.

Had a work buddy bit by a copper head while gathering eggs, treatment is ugly for snake bites , I would put some big sticky pads where the chickens cant get to them,
 
When I was younger at home and had no sense to me, I was out in the front of my folks house catching rattlers, southern pacific, Mojave green, western diamondback and sidewinder...

I got just a small prick on the palm of my hand from a southern pacific, spent the night in the hospital with my hand swollen up and anti venom being pumped in me.

Now I'm old and have a bit more sense...lol
 
I have a Black snake that lives in the landscape around the house . I see him every now and then , but he doesn't bother me so I don't bother him . I also don't see any mice , and he took care of the mole that was in the yard .

Yesterday the neighbor gave me some sod he had leftover . I loaded it in a wheel barrel and went in the house . Came back out to put it down and my buddy had got up in the mix of sod .
I grabbed a section , ( and the snake ) . Damn thing went up my arm and over my shoulder . I may or may not have screamed out loud .

So that was the scream I heard...lol
 
I guess if it was a Black Mamba, you wouldn't have made your last post. :emoji_laughing:

I'd have screamed as well! Then went and changed my drawers!
