Well. That didn't help my nerves any

[tickle gamer]

Hi All! I just had to talk about what I just witnessed mainly as a way to, hopefully, get it out of my head.

As many of you know I live with my mother. Earlier this evening she started saying that she saw a snake in the house. I never saw it.

A few minutes ago she called one of our neighbors to come look and, if possible, catch it. He came and looked and he said in was a black snake, however, when he pulled it out of hiding it looked, and moved, like a black racer. Whatever kind it was it looked to be a good 5 to 7 footer.

And, I had pretty much a front row seat of it all going down. So. Yeah. Needless to say that it did NOT help my nerves any.

Sorry to hear all of this, tickle gamer. Finding such a thing in your house must be very unnerving.

Hopefully now that it is gone you will calm down.

Take care, my friend

Basically harmless, likely offended and gone.

I'm sure any voodoo practitioner worth their salt would say that was quite the symbolic purging.

Of course that's literally what happened, and either sort of snake you mentioned is not venomous (thank you, Google)
and prefer to avoid people, so I'm sure the bugger wasn't exactly thrilled by the whole unceremonious ousting either, if that makes you feel any better.

Nobody would return after being treated so rudely. Nor will he or she be recommending your accomodations on Tripadvisor any day soon.

My advice....sell the house immediately lol...black snakes are notoriously mean fighters...i know that snakes are supposed to be awesome and all that...but sorry, if ever a snake got into my home i'd be out of there before you could scream snake...

We do have two pet lizards that live out front, in the cracks on the porch...but i like those...however i still wouldn't wish to share my living space with them...

Just remember that snakes, though not always desirable, feel pain and fear like any other living creature.

So true. We're the most dangerous... Pardon me for running with that.
