I had a huge chicken snake living under my house and loved it because they catch mice. The lady that was staying with my mom killed it!!!! I'm terrified of mice - dead or alive. Scared by a rat as a child. We have cotton mouths & rattle snakes in our neighborhood - way out in the boondocks.

DH and I have a deal, I take care of the spiders and he takes care of the snakes. In 30 years of marriage there have been many spiders including a tarantula however there have been no snake incidents. I still like our deal. :)

LOL I'll take a garder snake any old day! the neighbor came over and asked me to take a dead armadillo out of her pool! Also, late nite about 11:30 hubs called from the houseboat (he went and left me to work on my sewing rm) to ask if I heard the news about the prison escapee next town up. He was being transported from 1 to another and tricked the cop, stole the cop car and all the weapons and the last time he was seen was outside our town! I really needed to hear that - our backyd is on the townline to the country with a dirt road running along it.
I locked everything and then locked myself in the bedrm with my cell phone, carkeys and the dog - then got up later and unlocked it cus I could see myself going out the door in my sleep and shutting it and locking myself out and the dog, keys and cell in - lol! sharet

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?

Yikes, got the willies now! As far as I'm concerned the only good snake is a dead snake! I don't care how many rodents & insects they eat, they don't need to live! I hate spiders too. We live in an apartment complex that is built on what was farm land less than 5 yrs ago with a golf course behind us. We have some of the ugliest, biggest spiders I've ever seen...thank goodness it's been so hot & dry this summer they seem to have mostly disappeared. Coyotes are still around tho. We hear them howling at night when we're sitting on the balcony or walking the dog. They live across the highway in a grove of trees.
