    I would have screamed but once inside I would have watched in fascination. Thanks for sharing. What kind of snake is that? Looks harmless.
    That is the craziest thing ever! It is amazing. Devious, but amazing. Sorry, Mr. Snake, but I’m really hoping you go hungry. Do you know what kind it is?
    It's a Rat snake , totally harmless and yup amazing climbers . They can literally climb the walls , really cool to watch them do that .

    Even crazier is the section of his body that corresponds to the tight wavy hanger is also a tighter wave than the rest of his body that is against that lower (less wavy) hanger. I.E., the shapes along his body changes with the shape changes on the thing he is attached to. How in the hell does that snake know that? These dang things are expert mathematicians. Nature is fascinating.
    He feels it with his body , I've watched Rat snakes that I've kept go up an interior wall using the slight imperfections in the paint to grip and climb , they're designed to go any place a rodent can go . It also means they're great at raiding chicken coops so some places they're called Chicken snakes .

    So my daughter, the older one, has been using a juul for a while now. Normally I just keep doing my thing with my coils and tanks and figure I know more than she does.... BUT.... I’m a little envious of the ease she has when it’s time for a new pod. Does anyone know much about these systems or can point me where to look? I think it would be handy for travel, or out and about, when I am looking to not fuss with things. Not as a total switch over just something different for certain times.

    I’ve searched the forum and only see a few threads. I might not be looking in the right areas or they aren’t talked about much?

    Ret is right. Rat snake. Has many other names. Many call them black snakes for obvious reasons. They truly are fascinating snakes.

    Ive seen them crawl up the side of my house. If I'm not mistaken they hunt copperheads and other snakes too. Ive seen clips of snakes in trees mimicking a branch but never seen or heard of one take on multiple shapes at the same time and according to what they were trying to hide against. Camoflauging in the animal kingdom is one of the most fascinating things in nature. How these animals are wired. Confirms my belief in God. How else could they be so perfectly designed?

    Go to the Kayfun Prime thread on the HHV subforum. We are just starting to talk about JUUL.

    I don't know if you found this section of the forum: Vape Pod Systems

    Very few threads but there are some

    They won't hunt them but they will den with them , following a Rat snake in the fall might lead you to a Rattlesnake den , one of their other nicknames is Pilot Black snake because of that .

    Of all the snakes I have encountered here the black snake is the most aggressive. They are not happy snakes.

    Most Rat snakes are aggresive , we have Texas Rat snakes here and they bite willingly , only defense they have against something the size of a human . Corn snakes are Rat snakes but they're easier going , and popular as pets . Don't know why some subspecies are more aggressive than others , never could figure that out .

    beats me Ret. I know these copperheads round here are very passive. They dont put up a stink at all. They just coil up and put on a charm offensive. Theyre gorgeous snakes and they act like they know it.

    Bronze, that was very interesting with the snake coiling like that in mimicry. However I couldn't like the post because I adore little hummingbirds. I would hate to see one eaten!!! Now a rat snake should eat rats, and he can eat other snakes. I don't want him on my porch though, especially at night. There is too much of a chance he will bite one of my dogs. A rat snake was the kind that was up in my flower pot, and Bella stuck her nose in there to investigate. That is when she did the fast head movement to avoid being bitten. I think I mentioned that a while back.

    I don't know anything about JUUL, I am still hooked on the REOS!

    I just read over 72% of my state is in exceptional drought. We had more hot dry wind today. Normally we don't get much wind in the summer, unless a storm is coming. Food prices are going to go up because of this, I'm afraid. Thankfully it wasn't as hot today. I know it was at least 101 deg though. Tomorrow should be cooler. I know that will make my plants happier!

    They are pretty snakes , nowhere as aggressive as their relatives mainly the Water Mocassin . We have Rat Snakes and Corn Snakes living in the same areas and preying on the same prey in this state , seems neither habitat nor diet plays a role , they face the same predators as well so that doesn't account for the difference in aggressive behavior either . It remains a mystery to me .

    That's true across many species. Brown bears come to mind. Essentially the same bear yet so many differences in behavior across the subspecies. No idea when, where, how, or why they diverged. None of us were around to see I guess.

    I hate water moccasins with a passion. They are mean, and they are extremely aggressive here.

    Tonight when I took the dogs out, it was a little cool already. I was relieved to feel that for sure. It did get up to 102 today the weatherman said.

    Bronze, I put the Caramel Apple Tobacco in the Reo this evening. I am glad I bought it. I haven't had that juice in a while, and it is good. I have my mainstays, but I like something different now and then as well.

    @kkay59 i was driving home from the grocery store this afternoon at 330pm. Got in my car, 112, drove a mile, 114, another mile to my driveway.. 116. My plants are all dead, except for the cactus. But that’s what it’s like here every darn year! Must be awful when it’s not your norm. Glad to here it’s cooling down a bit. Hope you get a break soon (bc I know I’m not!).
