What Was I Thinking Trying To Catch This Snake Myself?

[@galady8632]

Hats off to Snake Wrangler Brooke! Most people injure themselves trying to get away from rat snakes. Brooke may need a neckbrace - she's now wearing so many hats she might also need a Chiropractor. Never a dull moment in the Cog Hill 'office'.

[@deborahmirelli3715]

[@teresahix5658]

Yes I thought she had caught a snake before since she was a snake wrangler 😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@janetandtaz]

Not having the camera on what was going on made it absolutely hilarious. You go girl! Good for you.

[@LindaSpringer-rh9xx]

I laughed out loud when MaryCarl told Brooke that she is not even filming the snake the camera was on the wall covering, while she was trying to get the snake. I loved that even though the snake ate one of her babies MaryCarl wanted him released. If I was trying to catch that snake, Jason would have had to “bleeped” out all of my verbal mutterings. Bless all of you.

[@johnking8679]

I don't know what snake that was, but I can tell you that having been born and raised in Africa (Rhodesia - now called Zimbabwe) our philosophy was that the only good snake was a dead snake !! Too many snakes to wonder whether they were poisonous or not !! Sorry, but that's the way it was - especially anywhere near your house or livestock areas. Just couldn't take a chance on catching and releasing.

[@tracih.8924]

Great job showing MaryCarl that her mother is a Rockstar, and women can do anything they choose ❤✌️

[@sherrimckinney457]

[@81dawgfr]

Rats don't live long as pets and are prone to tumors. MaryCarl doesn't really want one as a pet. My nephew had one and it only lived to be a out 1.5 years and that was after having a tumor surgery to prolong her life. She was sweet, but life span is way too short!

Good job. Snakes have good qualities too. Thanks for saving him.

[@faithrada]

Indeed...snakes are very beneficial.. the problem comes when you are in an area which also has poisonous species. For me... I RUN first.. check out the type later. As long as you Know it's a Rat Snake you're all set. Good on Mary Carl for not killing it. 😊

[@anyascelticcreations]

​@@faithradaThat reminds me of an experience I had in Texas. I was going for a hike in the woods in Texas when I saw a snake some distance away. Whatever it was it was big. And black. It was enjoying a nice bath in the muddy water over there. I'm going to say a hundred yards away. For whatever reason this big snake was standing up tall with the front of it's body out of that mud. It seemed to be looking around. And when it saw me it watched me back for a while. Eventually it lowered itself back down and started moving in my direction. I don't know what it was but I think it wanted me gone. My best guess knowing the area was a water moccasin. So I made myself gone. Lol

[@lynnedunigan-little908]

What an adventure.! I am sure this snake is reevaluating his life choices.

[@anyascelticcreations]

Lol. And telling all his extended family in that neck of the woods the terrifying story he's just been through.

Was that a corn snake for real? I relocated one that ate my bird eggs out of the birdhouse where I lived in California. I found out from animal control that corn snakes have a nasty bite. The snake was unharmed and got very lucky that day.

[@terrireddish2522]

​@@mysonsRnavymy brother had many corn snakes when I was young and if for whatever reason they tried to eat their dinner wrong way (defrosted mice,pet shops sell frozen mice for snakes etc)he would have to gently take it out tip of its mouth and turn it round and he got bit a couple of times and he said he didn't feel any fangs just pressure 😊I don't think he tried doing anything like that with his boa constrictor though 😂

They were not happy when the thought 4 'girls' were coming down. However, after we showed them how to leap from the rafters of the barn into the hay they did ease up on the teasing. Then we girls wandered through the hay field and picked up some beautiful grass snakes.
