Was that snake in your garage? I can't tell by the picture. I would be more disturbed about a snake in the house versus on my bike. If I saw a snake at my house with those colors, I would think copperhead, whether it was or not.

Was at outer banks bike week last year and there was this modified old police bike with a snake theme. Dude had rubber snakes glued all over the thing.

That would have scared the crap out of me, I hate snakes. Think it would take awhile for me not to look for a snake every time I got on the bike had it been me.

Funny story.

Bleah. They have no legs and can locomote, ergo they must be exterminated. All of them. The only way I like snakes is if they're boots, wallets, or belts.

"Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?"

That is a gopher/rat/bull snake. Non-poisonous, but they do eat lots of mice, rats and big bugs. Maybe you could get him his own warming spot.

I was standing at my work bench in the shop a few weeks ago,happened to look up out the window,there was a huge black snake looking at me.I ran to the house to get my wife so she could see this huge thing,about the time we got back she just saw the tail.I ran outside and around back just in time to see it going into the vent above my shop!We quickly taped over a few bad spots in the ceiling.Still don't know if he came out or not!
