Man oh man. To see something like that on your porch has got to ruin your year! It is so good you have a man living there and you can just stick to him like glue 24/7 in case you hear or see anything. He would have to wear me like a sweater after seeing the ex-jumpsuit of whatever used to be in that!!!!!!!! And please, man, do not call whatever came from that charming length of horror a HOUSE snake and expect me to stay married to you!!!!!! If you are going to house me where something like that hangs out, I'm history!!!! I could just go live in the nearest mental home where they kindly shock your brain once a day from ever knowing things like that frequent unsuspecting human living premises. Between the shockings and the moonshine and pills, I might could deal - otherwise, moving to Ireland and living with as many men at once I can manage. Men can keep me safe from things like that and they can kill them!!! Men and maybe a yard full of mongeese or mongooses or whatever you a whole big group of them! I sure hope you can sleep somehow tonight. I believe if I were you I would just superglue myself to DH and drink until dawn!

Michelle, did you sleep at all last night? Couldn't help thinking about you as I tucked in my dustruffle under the boxspring last night in case anything wanted to crawl up it! It's not attractive-looking but it's only for the night and it keeps "things" from using it as a ladder up to the bed. How's your BP today?

LOL, y'all are hilarious! As long as I could confirm it was not poisioness I wouldn't be bothered by it, but I'm not familair with the snakes in your area. I assume you get some of the really bad ones. :eek: It looks like he thought you needed some exterior design work and left you a nice gift. LOL.

I think your pic is of the snake shedding it's skin.... the lower part that you can see through is the shed... the upper part that you cannot see through is the snake! Right above the wire, you can see where the skin is just pulling off the snake. It comes off inside out, usually in one piece... it does stretch a little in the process.:eek::D

We have found a couple of snake skins in our yard. Luckily, none from poisonous snakes. Not yet. The largest live snake I have seen in our yard was a 5' black snake. Harmless, but caught me by surprise and made me jump out my skin!

I had to know!!!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek, Michelle!!!! EEEEEEK! What in the world are you going to do?????????? Will exterminators put stuff around to kill it or are there wranglers or something to come in and find this abomination? I mean I know it's one of God's creatures and all but anything that friggin' crawls out of its own skin and leaves it hanging on the flower basket should be dealt with! HOw creepy, creepy, creepy and icky is that????????????????? OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I would literally just be eating tranquilizers and washing them down with any liquor I could get my hands on from neighbors or even that stuff they make in the Tennessee backwoods! How will you live there and what in the world can somebody do to be sure that thing isn't - somewhere you really don't want it to be???? There should be laws or something that women don't have to have them around! This is awful. And what the H happened when it lost its skin? What's under where that was??????? Isn't that the grossest thing in the whole world that you would shed your SKIN and crawl around howeverr????? I'm so freaked for you I don't know what to do! You can come stay with me - at least I have only had the 1 garden snake and 2 tiny lizard things. They are bad but NOTHING like that grossness! Can you sleep tonight or anything? Can you go to a hotel or friends until some men get out there to check the house and things? Is there some spray or something you can defend yourself with if you have to? I'm so sorry this happened to you? And what in the world will you do??????? I'm going to have to have a pill myself just thinking about you there dealing with that!

He thinks that thing was in the gutters of the house and after a nest of wrens in the tree next to the porch:eek:...I have cleaned those gutters out millions of times...with a step ladder and not really looking in, just sticking my hand in there to get the leaves out!! NEVER AGAIN...those suckers can stop up..fall off...whatever, before I ever clean them out again!!!

BTW I would just as soon been the loser in this contest:p
