FYI LN that is a common rat snake. He would not be near your home if there were not rats around I have one that lives near my garden named Sammy
I would much rather have Sammy than a nasty old rat and he eats sparrows too. There are four venomous snakes in LA. Copper Head Water Moccasin Eastern Rattle Snake Eastern Coral Snake What is the difference between poisonous and venomous ? This is a scarlet king snake, Lampropeltis triangulum. It is not venomous. Look at the banding pattern (black on yellow) and color of the nose (red). (not to be mistaken for the Coral Snake note the different pattern)

Thanks for the info there Isaac.
as far as venomous and poisonous. I used to work with this guy, would have a fit anytime someone said something about poisonous snakes or poisonous spiders.. he'd say "They're NOT POISONOUS, their VENOMOUS!! my dictionary say venomous: adjective (of animals, esp. snakes, or their parts) secreting venom; capable of injecting venom by means of a bite or sting. and poisonous : adjective (of an animal or insect) producing poison as a means of attacking enemies or prey : a poisonous snake. • (of a plant or substance) causing or capable of causing death or illness if taken into the body : poisonous chemicals. however... a quick google search found: Quote:

You might want to put some rat trap out LN. They love peanut butter
