Snake on a car

How would you like to find this on your car driving down the road. Fortunately it was not in the car.

About a month ago, my wife heard a thump in the utility room of the our house in East Texas. Later she said she saw a tail go under the hall closet door, so we must have a mouse. The next night, she openned that door to get the vac out, and there was a snake coiled in the corner. About 3' pine snake, not venomous but scary none the less. That thing came in the dryer vent, went right past the dog's crate, through the kitchen to get to the hall.

We had a 8ft+ rat snake or something, it was a huge snake, that would hang out in the rafters of one of our barns. He was there for years, never posed a threat to anyone but the rats in the barn, and one of our nightwatchmen one night. The guy had to have been in his late 80's or 90's, very old guy, and as he's going into the barn in the middle of the night to water the horses, the snake must have lost it's grip, or do what snakes do when they fall, and literally fell right on top of the guy while he's in the barn. Amazingly enough the guy didn't have a heart attack , I know I sure as hell would have. I wasn't there when it happened, but supposedly the snake was just as terrified as the old guy he had fallen on. Nobody was hurt, but they both got the hell away from each other quick.

I probably would have jumped out of the truck and came back in 6-12 months to get it I'm a big sissy when it comes to snakes.

I've had an instance of a wasp fly around the ****pit when I went flying once, and I've heard of a story of a pilot finding a snake in his floorboard after takeoff. It was the quickest landing ever recorded

A year ago, we had a customer tow her car to us because she saw a snake crawling into her front bumper when she came out of the mall.

we completely took the whole front end apart before we found it in the crash bar on the front of the RRS






we released it into the near by field.

Sure didn't look like a water moccasin. That's what he kept screaming.
