[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1523658, member: 4362"] Been having a snake problem around my chicken coop and have been relocating them but they just keep coming back. Last straw came when one gave my daughter a big scare. Its one thing to scare me but its another when you mess with my daughter so something had to be done. Since I didn't want to kill them for risk of offending those who think snakes are such cute and cuddly creatures I had to come up with a more humane plan. One that involved logic and understanding of snakes and their feelings. While thinking on this I was reminded of the old saying about the way to feed a man is not to give him a fish but to teach him how to fish. With that in mind I thought a distractive hobby might do the trick. Something like golf. Some people seem to be hooked on golf and will spend hours on a golf course doing nothing but chasing a little white ball around. Seemed reasonable snakes would do the same so I placed a golf ball on each nest and this morning all the golf balls are gone and the nests are filled with eggs. I'm so glad that snakes are reasonable creatures but I can't help but wonder what their handicap might be. [/QUOTE]
