Snakes in the basement

While on vacation the critters took over our home in the mountains. Walk down the hall and be confronted with spider webs. There are spiders everywhere. They think they own the place. The same thing happened when we were in Washington DC, the spiders took over the house.

Earlier this week I was at work when Kenyon called. He told me, "there's a snake in the basement. A large, black one. It scared me." He had gone down to do the laundry, turned around and saw it climbing the wall and wrapping around a pipe. What did he do? He ran upstairs and got the camera. Then he called animal control. They told him it is non-poisonous based on his description.


Later in the day some potential renters had come to look at the place. They wanted to see the utility room in the basement (a different room than the location of the snake). Kenyon took them down and what do they find? A second snake, this one smaller, coiled on top of the water heater. Yuck!

That night we were a little creeped out hoping no snakes made it upstairs. Luckily, we've had no snake sightings since.
