I know that black snakes are not poisonous, but they can still bite.  So when I was clearing out the back yard a few days ago and decided to move a little bit of a brush pile, I was not happy to find a nest of black snakes.  And of course they were not happy for me to find them either!  They were defending their nest, and came right after me!  I started to smack them with my shovel to get them to leave me alone.  When I told my wife about it she was upset with me for hitting them.  She didn’t believe me that they came after me, but they did!  I wonder what she would have done in that situation!
