    Rat snake - very common around here.
    It was rather docile and really just wanted to get away, I set him off in the edge of the woods

    If I knew I'd probably have the hole plugged:D

    Either the door was open and he wandered in or more likely got into the attic - I've watched them crawl straight up a piece of painted T1-11
    On occasion you here a "thump" in the joist spaces.... they're attracted to the smell of rodents and will scale houses get in through a vent and eventually wander out.

    It's the second one I've found inside the house - first live one, the last one I found mummified in the penetration around the vent stack - his tail stuck in a mouse trap.
    That was after the summer when I was re-siding the house and the eve spaces were open for a couple days while I was resheathing the exterior.

    Snakes are devilish little creatures even though they serve a purpose.

    I just hate seeing that. Think I would need a shower if I were to be the one who discovered the snake in my home. :emb:
