If you like snakes as much as I do you should run screaming instead of reading the second half of this post.

I understand that everything happens for a reason, so by default I must accept that all living things are created for a reason.  Except snakes because NO REASON.

Especially when one of them decides to take up residence I-N-S-I-D-E the house.  Where people live.  More importantly where *I* live.  I love my housemates bunches, but they now know I'd trip any one of them in a New York minute if we were both being chased by a snake.

Like this one who was discovered lounging on the shelf above the washing machine:



Apparently it is an Oak Snake.
Apparently it is "harmless".
Apparently it is TIME TO MOVE.

    Holy. Crap. I'm several hundred miles away, and I want to move after that story! This just reinforces my belief that the only acceptable snake is one that's been made into a kickass pair of high heels. They scare the bejeebers out of me.

    *SHUDDERS!*
    I live with heaps of spiders of every ilk in my basement studio. Sometimes they come out to rear their ugly little heads and then I crush them mercilessly with whatever is nearest, including - GASP! - my jewelry hammer! And recently we had a mouse take up residence and leave poops in my huge bathtub (don't know how he got in... or out... unless he had help a la mouse mission impossible style!) and we have since dispatched with him but found no cousins. But a SNAKE! Egads! You need a whip and a khaki fedora. We will have to call you Indy Juls! ;-)
    Enjoy the {slitherfree} day.

    Time to move, indeed! Does this happen on any regular basis in this new house of yours? Cripes! And what is that person doing handling it? A person who likes snakes? I would be very suspicious of that this snake-loving person might have had something to do with the snake in the laundry room. I dunno but maybe the snake-lover should move and take the snakes with him?

    That just makes me shiver and pick my feet up off the floor. Ooooooh. Snakes = never harmless.

    Of course, the beads make me shiver too, but in a good way.

    Get the hell outta there Juls!! That would freak me out, too!!
    Maybe you can torch the snake, if another one shows up.
    (BTW - pretty beads!)

    A snake in the house would be a deal breaker for me. But, baby, those beads of yours are mighty damn fine lookin'. Console yourself with that, eh.

    Whenever I see a snake around the house my neighbor asks me what type it was. I always have to tell her that I don't know because it is hard to figure out when you are running away while waving your hands above your head and screaming. Said neighbor just had a white oak snake drop from the hydraulics of the storm door onto her 88 yr. old mother. Eeeeck!
