Clean up in aisle 4.
A snake got into our basement very recently...probably slipped in while the garage doors were up.
My husband, knowing I love the little critters, called me so I could get a look. It was a
rat snake...just a baby, about two feet long. They can grow to around eight feet by the time they reach adulthoood.
They are harmless. When it comes to the venomous variety, here in central Virginia copperheads are common. The western part of the state has timber rattlesnakes; they’re slowly moving eastward.
He was a cute little fellow. We took him into the woods and let him go. If he had been poisonous, I know husband wouldn’t have entertained my bleeding heart.
