Big Black Snake !

[DaveHawk]

Sorry no picture. This morning as I sat down at my desk at 6:45 AM for a little quite time before opening the shop for the day I heard a small crack sound. I looked over in the dirrection and nothing a few seconds a minite or 2 late out of the corner of my eys [hunter eye] I see a movement. As I watch a head slides out on the wall behing a small bolt of upholstry. I watch this Black snake make his way half way up the brick wall so I pick up my camra but he's getting close to the hole in the ceiling so no time for a pic. I took him off the wall and placed him in a containner.

Now I'm wondering; is this the same Black snake that the Mexicans from new door were going to kill that I resqued from them 2 weeks ago or another one. He's the same size about 5.5' with a little white showing through on his back. I think he was in the office because I have a baby mouse I cought in a mouse cage or he is just hunting , this shop has mice. Should I let him lose in the shop. I don't see any harm in having aBlack snake in here and obveously he's been around for a while but he's made himself known quite a bit lately. Customers would surely go nuts if they saw him maybe. My leae would be a good place for him to survive, what the virdic ?

Let him take care of your mouse problem.

I have or had a couple of em hangin around my barn. One of my neighbors killed one of them last week when he saw it sunning in his yard.

In all honesty I'd be out the door and never to return if I saw a mouse let alone a snake in your building. Isn't that what BB guns are for? lmbo (very long story)

Both freak me out, we lived in the perfect little country house a few years back and it was infested with mice during harvest O' how I hated going home. One night I was waiting up for Doug to get home *smiles* when two mice ran in front of the television and just sat there staring at me. I tried screaming at them-didn't work, tried throwing my shoes but missed and they looked at me like I was stupid, so I had to hop from the couch to the coffee table, to the love seat to the dinner table and make a mad run for my bed which I huddled in thinking I was safe until Doug "The Mouse Slayer" got home. He made the grave error in telling me "you do know they can climb right?". In the end it turned out to be the perfect farm house or the kids and I cause we were moving at the end of the month.

The wise man he is he chose the kids and I. lmbo

this Momma is armed and ignorant. Proceed with extreme caution as she is to be considered armed and extremely dangerous.

and afraid of mice and snakes.

[DaveHawk]

She forgot to add spiders LOL

He is back in the ceiling doing his job and probably very content.

Now Dave how in the world do you know I'm afraid of spiders? Cause I'm not I tell you I just have to get a running start when I have to step on any that might go squish or crunch under my shoe.

Now for snakes I'm not entirely afraid of them as long as they are in a cage behind bullet proof, ten inch thick glass at the zoo.

Mice carry disease and

and

and

and famine

do I mean famine?

Who cares their nasty and disgusting and remind me of an olde boy friend. *I will not go there, I will not go there* lol

I got married so that I didn't have to mess with mice, snakes or spiders. Its one of my many perks. ;D
