What kind of snakes do you get in that area?
-
On the shores of Cypress Creek, this is basically a swamp. We have just about any snake you might like in VA.
Most are good citizens but we do have copperheads and a few rattlers. Copperheads are fairly common in the swamp, but not in the neighborhood.
I’m guessing some kind of black snake here to eat voles or skinks maybe worms.
-
I'm sure Jolly knows more but I think copperheads (heh, copper) and rattlesnakes don't really burrow but instead find logs/rocks to set up camp. I'd guess it's a mud snake or worm snake... not really sure which ones burrow so clearly like that, though. Got a trail cam?

My neighbor Joe came over to look at the burrow. He thinks it was done by a vole, not a snake. I agree with him.
So I put a chunk of vole poison in the sand as a welcome home gift for the digger.
Watch the possum come and scoop the dinner at 1:30 this morning. I can't find any leftover poison, I assume he ate it.

Good-bye, possum.
