Just found 2, 5 foot rat snakes in the backyard. Took some pictures then let them in find a new place to hide. Unless they are poisonous or in my house we let them be. Rather have them out there taking care of vermin that having the vermin move in the house and us run the risk of the dogs catching a poisoned mouse. I have had that happen before and its not good. Besides they were at the very back of the property not next to the house.
