Default Snakes and Bird Netting

Today I had to cut away some bird netting from a black snake that was
entangled in it. The netting was over the top of the garden, but some
of it was on the ground and this what the snake was in. My husband
held the snake's head away from me as I cut and cut. She was finally
somewhat free from the netting, but still had three areas still
encircled by it. Not once did she try to bite, but was very patient
with me.

It finally wiggled away from us. Strong!! I hope that the rest falls
off her or I am going to have to find her to try to get the rest off.

So this is just a warning about netting left on the ground. I learned
my lesson!


What type of netting... sounds like you have the expanded polyethylene
kind like they sell in the large hardware emporiums and typical garden
nurseries, if you do get rid of it, cut it up into small bits first.
