[QUOTE="raykour, post: 851656, member: 16801"] Oh my gosh, I cannot BELIEVE that snake was in your house. ANd it bit your kid? How did that work out? WE have a 2 year old and I am constantly worried about him and the snakes. We live in the rocky mountain foothills in CO and have a fair population of rattlers. As for guineas, they do kill snakes I have watched them. Their automatic reaction to them is to go up and start pecking, and once one starts they all get in on it and kill the nsake in short order. Chickens will also do this. I watched my hens kill a rattler about the size of the one pictured earlier this year. I think the snake cannot bite through the feathers. Once they get close to the feathers their jaws close. All the plumage must offer some sort of protection. [/QUOTE]
