A rat snake got in the chicken coop!!, Almost. - Saving a large Eastern Rat snake

A rat snake got in the chicken coop!!!! This is a short video of us saving a large eastern Rat Snake (Pantherophis sp.) from a small hole in a friend's chicken coop! This rat snake was able to be removed from the chicken coop and released after a little R&R! Preventing Snakes from getting into your Chicken Coop is almost imposable. But a Nonvenomous Rat Snake eats rats to the point that you really do want a snake in the hen house. Maybe the snake eating eggs isn't so bad, there are far worst chicken predators out there.
