I hate snakes enough that I would probably avoid the shelter during a tornado....yes, I know that's ridiculous and stupid and all kinds of things, but that's me. I hate snakes with a passion.

Eww!! EEWW!!! EEEEEEEWWWWWWWwwwwww!

UPDATE on Snake...
I put a 12 ft. 2x4 down and sneaky snake scrambled out as soon as he realized I wasn't gonna whack him on the head...
Bottom line.... snake is gone :D

Oh poor little guy. He only wanted shelter.
Just as well you don't livehere. We get lots of big poisonous ones.
Glad for you sake it's gone now.

At least you know there are no RATS down there now!

lol yeah but it could've taken the 4 skins with it...

You can buy a snake repellant which has a lot of sulfur in it. I sprinkle sulfur powder at my door steps because snakes have been seen taking naps there. Hardware stores carry bags of powdered sulfur and it's a lot cheaper than the snake repellant products. Sulfur has a terrible odor, but I can manage stepping over sulfur much better than a snake.

I sprinkle it around my chicken coop area.

When I was selling my house last year I went into my Shed to see if I had stored there anything I needed to take with me. The first thing I saw was a snake, and not a little one. This thing was about 3 feet long and it may have not been too wide, but I know in my head I saw an Anaconda. I left and sold my house not knowing what was left behind. (No way Jorge was going there if I saw a snake. I am the daring one here). I haven't missed anything yet.

Give me a rat anyday!If it don't have legs I don't want any part of it!!!
