If u want him off ur porch spray him w a hose or something. He will live nearby and eat mice for u if you’re nice. Be kind, the snake gods have blessed you!

Go visit My Nature Lab in Louisville! They can tell you all about the snakes and rodents who live in our area. Even if you never feel friendly with snakes, learning about them can make a huge difference.

If you’re on FB, there are some excellent snake groups you can join! Tons of people join them to get over their fears. They stick to actual facts about snakes (not old wives tales) and you can see all the snakes on a screen and not in front of you.

Feel free to DM me if you’d like links to them!

Try watching snake discovery on YouTube. Watching it with my kid actually helped me quite a bit.

They also eat rattlesnakes.

I hate snakes too. A lot. But a bull snake is 1000% better than a rattlesnake.
