Sitting outside by my shop yesterday evening admiring all things Mopar when I hear something falling from the tree above my house, then hear a huge bang on my metal roof and see leaves still falling from above. Well when this happens my cats usually skedaddle but instead ran towards the noise instead so I go to see what it was and I find this Oak Snake coiled around what I thought at first was a mouse but then I see the squirrel tail sticking out. I hear a squirrel above my head around 50' up squawlking and realize the snake must have got one in the nest and somehow fell out to the ground. I knew they would climb trees and get bird eggs out of nests but never new them to get squirrels. It took about 20 minutes to inhale the squirrel and when he stretched out afterwards was around 4' to 5' long which is pretty big for an Oak Snake.
