snakes alive

Made it through the night! still cannot find snake, kinda hate to move since my quilty stuff is here. I think I will take the idea of putting flour on floor to see if he slithers through. ewwww, I know I am not brave enough to pick it up. DH bought sticky board and put in laundry room. I am sure snake is not happy and I will gladly hold the door open for him to leave.

I came home from a trip and it was on the barn with a blanket covering it. The best present ever!

and its just as scared of you as you are of it. call one of those animal control people. truthfully, a garter snake wont hurt you, maybe it was chasing a mouse.. awww, no excuses its gotta go!! so see if you can get that animal control there.
I am not going to get close enough to find out if a snake is poisoneous or not. a reminder though, if its head is diamond shaped, stay away from it!

I feel your pain!!! I had a garter snake in my basement!(mind you I have 4 cats who sleep in the basement every night!! they were no help at all) I was told moth balls,lots of them, would to rid snakes. Well, we placed moth balls in the hole under floor (rooms added in the basement) where the snake was seen escaping to. Maybe just coincidence, or bad luck, the next morning I found the snake UPSTAIRS in my kitchen! (did I mention snakes REally creep me out?!) It was in front of an open sliding glass door looking out. Not sure if it came up stairs due to hunger, dislike of the moth ball scent or because it smelled fresh air. We kept still and watched it so it wouldn't disappear to another part of the house. I called a neighbor who came over, popped a box over the snake and dragged it outside on the rug the snake was on.
Thankfully I have seen no other snakes and I hope it stays that way! Good luck!
