DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDREL!

Warning: Graphic photos and video. Well, this was not a person, but a SNAKE!  So he is really a ROTTEN DIRTY SNAKE!  He ate one of our chickens! 
I went out to open the coop doors and check on the babies and there he was right in front of me, with a BIG FAT BELLY FULL OF OUR BABY CHICK!  It is one thing to be caught innocently in our yard, it is another thing to take my livelyhood.  So THIS snake did not get let off into a welcoming field.  For this one, we administered the death penalty!  And to be perfectly honest, our neighbor did the dirty deed.  He gave me the tools  and then kindly offered to do it. :)  It is after all a guy thing to do.... rescuing 2 damsels in distress when everybody else is at church and one of us is sick. :)

 Miss Alli is one brave girl giving that snake a dirty look for killing her baby chick!

So, we were VERY curious about WHICH chicken he ate.  I figured what went in, must be able to come out.  It was very interesting squeezing the little fellow out.  I could feel the snakes muscles and bones retract and compress.   Glad I wasn't that poor chicken!  Glad I wasn't the snake either. :)

Here is some interesting video of our morning event! :)  The first video we get the baby chick out.

The second video gives a good lesson on not touching a snake after it is dead because it can still bite and move.
