Beautiful corn snake. Looks like he did find a safe place to take a MC ride.

Awesome!

That reminded me of the movie Deep Rising (the scene is at the 00:45 second mark)

Nah no way. Snakes are awesome. He didn't even try to scare me off, really calm little guy. He is now living in the grass around sams club

LOL, I would've like to released him a wooded lot, but no way to carry him on the bike. He should be good to go though.

I'm dying here, thinking of seeing someone tossing a flaming snake out of their window driving down the highway...
"WTF was that? Oh just a flaming snake. Wait, what?"

Wow. I would have unleashed my usual SLAG response when I saw the snake.

Scream

I usually find a mouse nest in the airbox.



Got stuck working on an NC50 back in the day. Removed the headlight to replace a bulb, and was swarmed by a hoard of ROACHES!


I'll take the snake anyday.

Good thing you weren't doing 80 down the interstate when he decides to start crawling up your arm.

There's nothing more frightening then driving with a live goddamn cougar next to you.

I would probably wreck if I was going down the road and saw a snake in/under my instrument panel.

It's amazing how many tough, macho guys on this site become absolutely unreasonable when they see a harmless little serpent.

All these guys should automatically receive a vagina icon to let everybody know what a huge pussy they are.

If I found a snake in my bike, I would immediately name it Plisskin and keep it forever.

Any snake that rides is just 100% badass.

I pulled the cover off of my Kamado cooker and bent down to open the air vent.

Saw something black coiled under the base.

After I landed I watched him stick his head out and flick the air with his tongue.

3' pine snake. I've seen him before. One fall my wife called me out and we saw his head sticking up out of the maple leaves that covered the ground. I've seen him gliding across the patio from one bush bed to the other.

He decided to not stick around for the barbque and crawled down the side of the house. This spring the air conditioning guy servicing the units saw him under the house.

There have been no chipmunks around for some time. I wish he could take care of the squirrels and cats as well.

Loud pipes save snakes? Loud snakes save lives? Snake pipes live loud? I'm confused...

At our old house, we had 30,40,50 (who knows how many) garder snakes living under the concrete slab back patio.

I was mowing the backyard, the wife was fiddling with potted plants or something.

I heard her scream, over the lawn mower engine, from 30+yds away.

I think she crossed the 20 feet from her position to the back french door in 2 steps.

Just to the side of the patio was a big ball of garder snakes mating.


We never, ever had an insect or rodent problem while living there. I knew why at that point. They were allowed to live.

Damn right.

There would be a smoking hulk where my bike once stood.

I'll let you volunteer, any time, to go in my chicken coop and gather eggs at dusk, or early morning.

It is the perfect light so that you can't see whether the nest is full of dark brown eggs, or a coiled dark brown snake.

Of course, there is always the chance that the snake is actually behind the feeds sacks, along the wall by a ground nest as well. Stick your hand down there and find out.

We'll see who gets a vagina icon then.

One of my riding buddies and I were riding some trails, we get to a stop and rest and he takes off his helmet because he thinks he has a bug in it, and when he flips it off a little snake about that size falls on the ground out of his lid. It must have been in a low-hanging branch and he scooped it up....rode with it next to his face for about 2 miles of trails.

He's terrified of snakes too, about shit himself. It was a harmless little guy, obviously....I'd be biting a motherfucker if I got scooped out of a tree.

Carry? The snake already figured out how to ride. You're lucky he didn't wheelie off down the road as soon as you jumped off the seat.
