Yes I guess the Eastern Indigo Snake has an orange throat and the Black Rat Snake has a white one. They are bigger too. So glad you found it a good home.

It sounds like a black rat snake. They are not poisonous. I don't know if it would eat duck eggs or not but I really don't think it would eat a duck. I would drive it a few miles down the road and turn it loose. They are great at catching mice and rats and farmers find them beneficial.

I just saw my Momma Muscovy off of the nest so I candled the eggs. There are only 7. Out of the 7 only 1 looks real promising and another possible down the line. If she hatches this one out I will take the rest, candle again and put anything promising in my incubator. I was glad they were...

Mine don't get to roost as there is no place to do that. My Mule has climbed up high to get away from my Mallard Runner Drake but only on top of a small Chicken house in the coop. My Muscovies have never done that before. I have heard of them roosting in trees and on rooftops before though.

That's how my Mallards are but she is separated from the rest of the flock and Muscovy ducks don't quack but as females make a pretty little trill. I don't hear anything out of her. The males only hiss and this is why some people like them. They are the quiet ducks of the duck world. lol

Mine had to get used to my hats also as I need to keep the sun off of my face after having to have surgery to remove some Basal cell recently. They know me now as I have many different hats I wear. Funny how something that different makes them wonder who we are when you would think they would...

She has only ever snapped at me when I tried to pet her recently. Before that she would let me pet her all day long while she was sitting but not when she was not sitting. Funny how they can be. I am not that afraid of her really. I just don't want to upset her so I have not disturbed her...

I took the two eggs out today that my Muscovy had thrown out of the nest yesterday. One was a quitter and the other one looked more like a fresh one. I have no idea how many she is still sitting on or if they are any good or not. After next week she will be moved off of the nest and I will...

When I checked my Muscovy Momma Oreo the other day she had kicked two eggs out from under her. Normally I have taken one when she has done this but I decided to leave the two in there. When I checked the nest the following day they were gone. She had to have put them back under her so I don't...

My Muscovy Oreo was sitting on 11 eggs. Yesterday two were thrown out of the nest but still beside her and off and on she has either laid one of thrown one out that was a dud. I have no idea how many are left under her but if they hatch it would be a day next week. I feel they are all duds...

Now I get it!!!
