Oh me. I hate snakes. I had to get a baby copperhead out of our indoor pool the other day and that made nightmares for days. I live in the city too.

Sorry for you and hope it is gone for sure by now.

Just be glad it wasn't a Mojave Green Rattler like my quilting friend had in her kitchen last week!! It came into the kitchen via the garage. I believe a good combination is: snakes/long handled shovels, if you get my drift!

Oh no! I used to watch "Venom ER" ... the Mojave was one of the most poisonous.

Ughhhhh! Do you know what it is? We have rattlers on our property. Creepy!

I heard one time that a snake wont go over a rope. Was told that cowhands would sleep inside a circle of their lasso to keep snakes from joining them in their sleeping bags. When you put the baby powder down to track it, perhaps lay a rope across the door frame to keep it contained to one room till it can be found, caught and gotten rid of?
