DH and I were moving the sprinklers for the lawn, since we just planted grass, and I went over to turn the water off....and there was a snake tucked up under the siding! All that was showing was about 4 inches neck and his head.
I think I handled it pretty good. I just said "ummm...baby? We have a snake!" I didn't freak out or anything because it was just a black snake and I know they are harmless....but I don't want it in my house! But, it was kinda cute.
Chip came over, and the snake disappeared under the siding. He says the snake can't get into the house because the siding it attached about 3 inches from the bottom (we have a double-wide). But we have no idea where he went! We even got a coat hanger to see if we could find it. I didn't want to kill it. Now, if it was a copperhead, that would be a different story!
I figure if he does find his way in the house, he will be a free cat toy!
