I got a call from a lady on one of my snake groups today. She had a big rat snake by her chicken coop. I was expecting a 4-5' snake. It taped out at 83" with plenty of kinks left. She's easily over 7' fully relaxed.

Western rat snake (panthrophis obsoletus)

Chicken snakes are hard on the bird population. Sounds like that one had found a pot of gold with a chicken coop.

That is a big one...…...and fat too!

I've had some over 6' at my place but none that big. If they stay away from our hen coop they are safe with me. Once they decide to become egg eaters they usually get dispatched...…..especially if Ms iluvbigbucks is the one to discover them in her coop. lmao
