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.
