Milk snakes are very valuable creatures because they eat mice.\u00a0 Being in the kingsnake clan they also eat snakes.\u00a0 The eastern subspecies in Massachusetts is supposedly the largest representative of the species.\u00a0 I’ve only seen a few on the property but am encouraged that they have shown up.\u00a0 I lay down sheet metal in areas where it will be warmed by the morning or afternoon sun in hopes that snakes will slide under it and soak up the warmth.\u00a0 That is a good way to find them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
