Jessica Eile Keith, of Darby, snapped this photo of two Southern black racers in a hoya plant. Both racers and rat snakes are beneficial to humans, as they eat large amounts of mice, rats and other rodents. The snakes are non-venomous and will only bite if they feel threatened. Black racers are helpful to have in a field, farm or backyard.
