More snake action

My roommate works for Indy Parks teaching little kids about nature, the ecosystem, and the like. She often brings animal skins and skulls in to show the kids. When she's lucky, she gets to bring the live ones.

The rat snake I am holding was hatched in captivity and is not dangerous. While, as a constrictor, it could kill me if it really wanted to by strangling me to death, it is not aggressive and prefers to eat thawed mice and rats.

Cat will kill the snake with no problem.

@culwin Really? Are you saying that to be funny or because you know a little something about snakes? Oh and btw, good to see you're still watching!

[culwin]

@Smola1022 Well, I'm no snake expert... but I've seen cats kill snakes and they are very good at it. Cats can react quicker than snakes can, from what I've seen.

@culwin haha really?!?! could you PLEASE link me to that video so I can prove my roommate wrong??

Oh wow! Rat snake, that's cool :)

Good to see you again. Tonight seems to be the night when the good ol' tubers come out of the woodwork. First CinderFNRella, then valsartdiary, then you!

@Smola1022 I don't have a video, just what I've seen before. Although I did find this video of a bobcat, I've seen the same with smaller cats: watch?v=JhuM8qusvkA

@Smola1022 Yeah... lost snake in the house doesn't seem fun, or conducive to a restful nights sleep. I don't think that sounds how it's meant to, oh well.

@elDesaparecida haha my bad el-D...its good to see you too! Yes she brought home a baby snake but then it somehow got loose and lost at her work. I'm just glad it wasn't here...

[elDesaparecida]

Didn't you find a little baby snake once upon a time? What happened to it? and... long time no see, sheesh...
