I walked out the shop door this evening to this guy climing the wall.
A non venimous eastern black king snake. This particular snake is just about 5 feet long when stretched full length on the ground and weighs several pounds. I put it into an empty barrel and relocated it to another location on the property.
In the process of getting it into the barrel, it climbed up over the edge of a rain collection trough and took a good long drink of water. I could see it sucking the water into its mouth. It was very thirsty.
