Ok gang.....I am 59yrs old and up until 10:00 pm on 4/15/ 2010...I have never had a snake in my house. I just got home from having dinner with the grand kids, nice wonderful evening....walked in the house, took my shoes off, turned on a few lights and there....right under the kiddie table I think I see a really big earth worm. So I bend down to get a closer look to see if it's dead or not....then it slithers...FAST.....oh my gosh....there is nothing I'm more scared of than a SNAKE. Now I'll admit....it was a baby snake, it really doesn't matter to me. I went out to the garage and did I ever have a hoe? I thought I did, but I couldn't find it....is it in the attic? I couldn't bother about climbing up in the attic to get it. If it's even up there. So all I can find is a rake. It'll have to do. I've never killed a snake before but I knew I had to. Good Gosh, I whacked that thing until I thought it couldn't move...so I move it around and can't get it up on the tines of the rake. So I'm going to just push it out the door.....well, I must have just knocked it out because it rose from the dead and started slithering again. I became obsessed. I'm not sure how many tiles I've probably cracked but I finally put that snake out of it's misery. I kept flipping it around until I caught it mid-air onto one of the tines onto the rake. Carried it outside and across the street and tossed it out on the soccer field. I know I should feel bad about killing that baby snake but I am scared to death of them and no way could I get it out of my house alive. So I have a question.....do you think there might be another one in here with me? It was a baby snake so I'm worried there may be more???? Crap....I don't think I can go to sleep tonight and that's not good. I've got a tee time at 10 in the morning......Since typing this I'll bet I've looked down at my feet 50 times.

barter for DEATH,,,Ilove it ! I have some REALLY amazing animal stories as I used to be an regional area leader for a major wild-life rescue/rehab group. So I can handle most critters. Most spiders dont bother me,,I used to have a " pet" one that we let live up in the corner of the farm house. But these monster ones were just TOO fat and hiuge and they moved really really fast. And all of them coming into MY BEDROOM from under the house all at once was HOrrible ! they would have made a terrible crunching sound and made a big icky splat.

Creepiest snake story ever: A close friend of mine was rushing to get ready for a date with his wife. He showered, and hurried to the closet, sliding the shirt off the hanger as he slid his arm into the sleeve. With the shirt half on, he realized his arm and a nice sized (3-4 feet) snake were sharing the sleeve. !!!! Holy snakes, batman !!!!!! I really don't mind them...... but this would have made me come unglued !!!!

Oh my gosh Conyers......I missed this post and now I almost wish I had not found it! :-) I read this last night before I went to bed and I couldn't quit thinking about it. A snake crawls into the closet and up into a shirt on a hanger????? Yes, that is extremely creepy and now I guess I need to take the rake in the closet to get dressed. Yikes!

Guys, I hate spiders. I'm not afraid of them; when I see one--even a big wolf spider--I turn into Rambo. All spiders should be eradicated immediately if not sooner. I'm currently on prednisone for an allergic reaction to a probable spider bite [it could have been a black fly, but more likely a spider bite] on the bridge of my nose. Face was swollen out to "here." Stomp on 'em, spray 'em, shoot with a 20 guage if you have to [LOL]. Just get rid of them. What we need is a national "KILL ALL SPIDERS DAY." Shaz, my sympathies to you for that "day from hell." I can relate all too well. Theo, here's hoping all your uninvited guests are now as dead as dead gets.

Oh, Theo, Theo, Theo. I would not have pegged you for one of the ladies who is afraid of snakes. As you are one, I won't tease you too awfully.
Do get yourself an exterminator [or whoever gets rids of snakes for people down your way in Texas] just to make sure the baby didn't come from a mama who made a nest in your attic or your basement or your spare bedroom.
Next, do yourself a really big favor and do some research on snakes in your area. Find out which ones are harmless and which ones aren't. Then learn how to identify each one. That way, the next time you find yourself with an uninvited slitherer in your home, or elsewhere, you'll know if you need to be worried. If it's a harmless variety, you won't have to go through the torture you went through last night. You'll just pick the thing up and relocate it. Or keep it as a pet as long as it agrees to keep your abode mice-free. [LOL]
Seriously, I hope you're now feeling safe and secure from snake invasions.

how sad for the poor snake. MOST of them are harmless, especially green ones. I would have captured it and let it go outside. But thats me and I know how to do it. You must have some opening in your siding or foundation. ide be more concerned about that ( heat loss,water damage, termites) than a snake.

With the shirt half on, he realized his arm and a nice sized (3-4 feet) snake were sharing the sleeve. !!!! Holy snakes, batman !!!!!! I really don't mind them...... but this would have made me come unglued !!!!
99.99999 % are harmless. But as a friend of mine says, "I'm not afraid he'll hurt me. I'm afraid he'll make me hurt myself." I'm OK with them...if I see them first !!
Creepiest snake story ever: A close friend of mine was rushing to get ready for a date with his wife. He showered, and hurried to the closet, sliding the shirt off the hanger as he slid his arm into the sleeve. With the shirt half on, he realized his arm and a nice sized (3-4 feet) snake were sharing the sleeve. !!!! Holy snakes, batman !!!!!! I really don't mind them...... but this would have made me come unglued !!!!
sounds like my worst nightmare Theo At least you were brave enough to tackle it is the first place! Such is my fear I think I would have bolted through the door never to return. Def get the exterminators in just in case. Then, quick as you can move over here.... we dont have them !

how sad for the poor snake. MOST of them are harmless, especially green ones. I would have captured it and let it go outside. But thats me and I know how to do it. You must have some opening in your siding or foundation. ide be more concerned about that ( heat loss,water damage, termites) than a snake. I once had a major spider hatch happen at an old house I was living in. Hundreds of 1" across spiders everywhere very quickly ! I had a fit ! I do believe I screamed !
