A Surprise in the Basement

Um, this was in our basement.


In case it's hard to see from the photo, I'll tell you; it's the empty skin of a Black Rat Snake. 

Normally I'm pretty okay with snakes but, I have to admit, it's a little disconcerting to see this big a skin IN OUR BASEMENT.  Did I mention it was in our basement??

 
DH held it up to show its length.  He's 5.10
 
 
It's taller than DD!
 
I'm sure the snake just came into the basement, discarded its skin and promptly slithered back outside.  Yeah, that's it.  Excuse me while I run, screaming, for the hills.

  1. my dad likes to run them over with the lawn lower. kind of like how i have to kill a spider every time i see one. they can't live. what if they were to follow me to my bedroom at night and onto my bed... and i'm going to stop now. but you get the idea. they must die. =) - carla
