This is the second time in the last week we've had what I believe is a North American Racer in our yard. They get to about 20-56 inches, this one was around 36 inches. Didn't kill it, just relocated it out of the backyard so the dogs didn't miss with it.

You sure have a lot of creepy crawlie critters down there and that's a good place for them.

How you like the pet camel spider I had in Uzbekistan.....? And yes that is a standard size Zippo lighter next to her, and she got as big as a pack of Marlboro 100's before l rotated out.

That snake will eat it's weight in mice every day. That is a good one.

Nothing that a size ten boot stomp wouldn't take care of.

No snakes up here, some rattlesnakes south of Calgary tho.

I can't tell a good snake from a bad snake so they all would get clobbered with a shovel if I seen one around here.

One of the reasons why I didn't kill it. Once I was able to ID it as being non-venomous, I just moved it out of the backyard, so it could do its thing, without being molested or killed by the dogs.

It had an attitude that is for sure, it was lifting its head in a striking pose and shaking its tail like a rattler.

I wouldn't have bothered that snake either, but my mother would have used that hoe to chop it into little pieces. I've seen her do it.
Fuck that spider, though.

Butthead (The spider) was sweet, she only bit me once, and damn did it hurt!

She would have been under boot butter before it ever thought about biting me. Avowed arachniphobe here. Nope.

Cool pet snake, what did you name it? We have millions of spiders, the wolf being the largest, I ignore them, and they eat bugs that suck my blood so they can stay.

I remember when I was in Vietnam. We found a large spider sort of like this and a giant ant. And what better thing to do for a bunch of Marines was to form a circle barrier and let the two fight it out. The ant won.. Bit of all the spider's legs. We did weird shit in those days...
