He was fine with me, just not with my dog someone let out so he came running over and snake went defensive in 2 seconds of course I was close when this happened and boom in the nose haha.
These are great pics, love them!! Definitely shows their feisty attitude that rats are known for :)
Love doing it and it helps me see more snakes!
Thanks for rescuing it. You could add this to the Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation mission. :)
I released it on my property was either that or the farmer was going to shot it out of the tree before it got to his birds :/
Beautiful series. If it was rescued from a farm, where did it go?
