Where to they come from???...The snakes??

I think you jinxed me. I had a black snake on my back porch once in the twenty years that I have been out here. At least the first one that I saw.

A couple of days ago, I walked onto my back porch to find a dead Red Rat Snake, or Corn Snake, as some call them. It was dead on my back porch, and Enoch and Sylvester sitting with their chest poked out, as if to say, "Look what we did!"

Here is the kicker. I heard them out on the porch, that night, it sounded like they were tearing the place down. When I went to look, they where trying to get at something above the window. I knew it was just an ordinary lizard they were after, or a basilisk. Common activity in these parts, so I went back to bed.

Imagine my surprise when I found out how well these snakes can climb.

Too bad they killed it! 

Those snakes are the good guys!

They weren't trying to kill it. Just like all the dead lizards lying around.

They play with them until the poor lizards have all the play removed from them.

Most of the rabbits have learned, just freeze until they lose interest and then run like hell.

Both my Huskies and my Huskicats, only want to play with stuff that moves.

As long as they don't move they are safe.
