I remember painting my Grandmothers log cabin home when I was a teenager. The home was built by hand from the timber on the land back in 1937, or '39 or so (it's still standing and being lived in today, they did some renovation, back down to the bare wood beams, just beautiful).
So anywhoooo, I'm on a ladder under the overhang, outside the kitchen window, and this BIG OLE SNAKE pokes it head outta them rafters right in front of my face. I'm jumping off that ladder, yelling screaming (thing looked like a rattlesnake). My boyfriend came running with the shovel and here comes grandma........"NO NO don't kill my snake!" We're thinking WTH?..... lol.
G-ma proceeds to tell us, that's her rat snake. Said, she can hear him at nights, slithering through the kitchen cabinets and he keeps the rats and bugs away. Do you know how hard it was to get back on that ladder and finish painting them rafters? LOL.
I got a little black snake, lives around here. He'll shock me every now and then, when he slithers outta under something and skits across the yard. He's about 2 feet long, found one of his skin sheddings one year. I let him be, and will, till he starts chasing me, then he's going down! LOL.
