I wish I could convince all of you scairdy snakes that these little slitheries are your FRIENDS. They eat frogs (that poison our furbutts), rodents (that spread disease) and other pesky little buggies. I must admit that it does startle me if I just happen upon a creepie crawlie unexpected, but I generally don't panic. I have been known to stop my car in the middle of the road to sush one to safety. 
On the other hand, I believe that snakes should remain outdoors and once they violate MY SPACE, things could get ugly. |
Good info.
I am trying to learn not to panic. I use to be real bad. I try to just shoe them out of my way. If they are in my house, I think I would have to leave. Taht would be where I draw the line. LOl
