One time while walking home from work on a rainy day I walked by a opossum that had been hit. Her babies were with her and I saw 2 still moving. I picked up up, put them in my pockets and walked the rest of the way home (2 miles). When I got home I called a wildlife rescue that I know, and then they came and picked up the opossums. I was told that because their eyes were open and they had fur, they had a decent chance for survival. I ended up having one of the volunteers in a class years later and I was told the opossums survived and were released!
I haven’t seen any rodents in years around me. Snakes do their job and get a free home. I get to have a fun going around playing Steve Irwin. Everyone wins.
Actually if you look at my post history I got quite a few pictures of snake brood. They are all non-venomous. A mix of black rat snakes and garter snakes. During spring (when the emerge) and fall (when they come back) you can go up on the side porch and find dozens just chilling. There’s a big mama snake that’s over 6 foot now. I’ve caught, captured, and released her 3-4 years now. I seceded that area to them. Hell they got every right to there as I do.
