Snakes are in every county of North Carolina. you will at one time or more in your life run across them, whether in your garden, garage or even in your home.
Eastern and Western Rat snakes are one of my favorite snakes just because they are so fascinating. For one thing they don’t need the sun to metabolize their foods. this means that they don’t have to be out in the sun to digest their meals. they hang out in crawl spaces and even attics for months at a time where other snakes would need to come and go.
So its no wonder that I am called on most of my reptile calls to remove them.
Although typically a very dark almost black top with pasterns blended in the scales and usually have a light underbelly, in youth their patterns are more present and are most often confused with Copperhead.
Rat snakes are very territorial, they will kill , even consume any snake that would happen into there areas. As fierce hunters rat snakes can set up ambush in almost any place. they have great eye to boot. this is way it is very beneficial to allow their presence if at all possible.. “better a black snake than a poisonous snake farmers used to say” , it is actually true.
Although I love these amazing creatures, they have no place in our homes.This is why The wildlife Professionals are here! we are great at removing and even excluding them form your house to avoid future occurrences. We have treatments as well that we can use to ensure a safe yards and play areas as well.
