chicken Snake = rat Snake

[Guest guest]

Most likely. According to what I just learned there is no such snake called

a " Chicken " snake and is a general name that is applied to different types

of snake. However the most common " chicken " snake is the Rat Snake.

Apparently a mean sucker that starts out looking like a rattler but as it

get's older they fade to blotches.

 

Rat snakes tend to feast on lizards, other reptiles and birds including of

course Chickens.

 

for all of you, who, like me, hadn't a clue as to what a Chicken snake was.

Saw a photo of one. I have seen them around here sometimes. Dang !! I

thought it was some kind of snake I had never heard of. Back in grade

school, I was the one bringing in snakes to show the class - none of the

boys did. Amazes my grand kids when I pick up a garter snake ! Trying to

show them that most small creatures around here are not dangerous and why

we need to have them around. Finally getting them over their fear of toads.

One grand daughter, age 7, is deathly afraid of grass hoppers. Out here in

the country, you can't step off the porch without a bunch of them hopping

off
