snakeman4 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Eastern Milk Snake: A slender species, with a beige background and brown to reddish blotches on the back. The belly has a black and white checkerboard pattern. They are often mistaken for rattlesnakes since they will vibrate their tail rapidly when threatened, which can produce a buzzing sound if it contacts the ground. Once believed to milk cows, hence the name, but like all snakes they only drink water! Farmers now realize the great benefit of this snake, as its primary diet is rodents. Milk snakes also prey on other snakes, including venomous species, as they are immune to the toxins. These snakes rarely exceed one metre in length. Milk snakes are found throughout southern Ontario.

snakeman4 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 meh, id much rather a snake "problem" then a rodent infestation. if you do have milk snakes, chances are that there are mice and rats quite near by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogliq2 Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Nice snake, not very common to see them anymore. I remember as a kid seeing lots of them on the farm, AND the masassauga rattlers as well ... but I hear that the rattlers are extinct in the wainfleet marsh now ....
