I was digging out our run off ditch down by the road. I looked up the drive and saw a large black thing. Not sure what it was. Walked up and it turned out to be about a four foot black snake caught in some bird netting. I went up to the house and got John and a pair of scissors and got ready for the rescue.
John picked him up and I did the cutting. The netting was pretty tight so I had to be careful about the skin surface. It was starting to cut into him. It took a few minutes but we got him free and John released him into a safe part of the garden.
Black snakes eat rodents and are good snakes.
