Kathy...the snake was long gone...all that is left is the empty skin. I would have been really freaking if the snake was still there shedding itself

Eeeeeek!

I think you need a sign: No Solicitors or Snakes. Haha!

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!

It doesn't surprise me

We bought a new flat screen tv last year and I finally got him to take the old tv to the house at our other property..and it only took 10 months of nagging to get it done. If I could have lifted it I would have taken it myself. If it doesn't have something to do with the farm or the cattle..it gets put on the back burner forever!!

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!
