UGH. Ugh ugh ugh. You oughta get with the gal who posts spiders from outside her kitchen window - can’t remember which one it is, but your snakes could eat up her nasty nasty spiders.

I AM SHIVERING with the shivers and heebie jeebies right now! ICK.

Have you ever seen the movie Rikki Tikki Tavi? (Or read Rudyard Kipling’s story)? That’s what I thought of - those deadly cobras stealing into the house at night to go after the little child…. UGH!

My husband is TERRIFED of snakes! He would have never saved the day like your hero hubby. He would have just screamed like a girl and ran upstairs to hide.

…And then never been able to fall asleep in our house again!

This was just a great story. I loved the descriptions. I can suggest a meerkat they take care of those pesky little snakes. Think Riki Tiki Tavi. LOL

YOu did such a good job describing the snake capture that I was having a little hyperventilations going on. Did DH use that stapler on the floor to get him into the tub? I am trying to imagine a Crocodile Dundee type save here! I am glad you took pictures because I was envisioning laundry baskets with HOLES in them where the snake could GET OUT!!

We had a snake in our garage a couple months ago and my poor 12 year old had to beat the life out of it with a shovel when it tried to strike at us (it was also a benign copycat snake after all was done, but geesh… when it pretends to be mean, we believed it). I then had to finagle (is that a word?) it into an empty milk jug… head first… still wriggling… with a combination stick and hand shovel and threw it in the garbage can!

I think I would have had a stroke it it had been in my house! I would say that you qualify as a country girl!!!

OK….I’m an animal lover and all, but No. Freakin’. Way. could I get all warm and mushy about finding a snake in my house. There’s a limit, my dear. A limit.

We have seen numerous snakes outside of our home and we have had our share of crickets, spiders and ants inside our home but the moment I see a snake inside, it’s all over. My sister had two snakes in her house (one of which, I found). I had the hardest time falling asleep that night (thank goodness it was my last night there). But they were wee babies compared to this one. How did he get in???? Yikes!

Good luck w/your ehhh… snake problem.
At least the bedrooms are upstairs!
