I'll never use my mixer again! (Warning:Graphic Pics)

Don't move.....just burn the house down, collect the insurance, and rebuild. lol

My grandma had a 5 foot chicken snake or something of that nature get in her trailer once. First sign of it was when it left a mess in the floor...so then she got to looking around to try to figure out what it was and found it in the closet where the water heater was back around the pipes.

My dad caught it and took it and let it loose in the barn. (I would have killed it myself.... Snakes usually don't get any free passes in my book.) But in a few days, it (or assuming it was the same one, looked to be the same size etc.) showed up in my sister's garage, across the field from where the barn was, and they killed it then.
 
I would be adding sulfur and mothballs to the grocery list!!

My mom found a 6ft rat snake outside her house and she's remodeling her old farmhouse. I laughed it off, but the next day I visited her house and the whole property, especially around the house and garden had been heavily dusted with sulfur to the point the lawn was yellow.

Then the yard and brush had been burned into the ground.

Momma does NOT like snakes.

She hasn't seen a snake since, and it's been nigh a year. Although while she was burning the brush and coating her property in sulfur the neighbor's gun was going off for two days straight. We went to visit the neighbor and they had many snakes hanging from the fence. Apparently mom drove them from her property across her pond and into the neighbors goat pasture. LOL

Well, I am not sure what I would have done. When I was younger I had snakes as pets, but now I moved to the country and we have copperheads. I have one copperhead come toward me in the yard like it was going to attack. Now, I just do not like the snake thing and if I found one in my house, I to would have killed it.

First off, I read all the posts and then went back to look at the pics again, and

. I hate to kill a snake, but holy moly . . . that was a big snake to walk into a room and find . . . you obviously had a den in or under that house (no duh, huh?) and you are slowly but surely getting them cleaned out . . .my grandmother was carrying pies down her basement steps one time, they ate there in the summer because it was so much cooler and a snake was on the step and coiled around her ankle. Didn't drop the pies, but her thumbs stuck into them where she gripped . . .then when they cleaned house back in the day, Grandma cleaned house . . .they took the feather beds apart and the rugs and everything went outside . . .the family slept on the floor. Grandma had taken a pile of newspapers outside and they sat in the sun most of the day . . .she brought them back in, they all went to bed and Grandma woke up in the night with a snake tangled in her waist length hair. . .I don't know what she did about that, but she wasn't bald that I know of . . .its a shame we are all terrified of snakes, or those of us who are selective about who we play with . . .) because they do soooooo much good for the enviroment. I have one out by the RR ties by the Alpaca pens, and I have to watch for him every day, because while I am not sure what he is (about 3 feet long and slender light brown with a long pointed tail, so I know he isn't poisonous) because I know he is doing good things. I just wish he would move to the back of the property and not be hanging around the yard where I work so much. Sorry, got carried away!!!
 
Since doing all that work sealing up the house...

WE'VE HAD NO SNAKES!!

I've also been using twice as many mothball around the house. If you have a snake problem- use mothballs. Just make sure it's where your pets cant get them (highly toxic). I put mine in old milk jugs and poke holes in the bottom of it. That way the smell gets out and they don't get any rain on them.

I will let you know if anything happens today!
