@cherokeepatti A big water snake came inside when I opened the door to let the dog out. I caught it and tossed it back outside. My wife found a small unidentified one in the hall and swept it into the garage. She wanted me to find it, and I told her I couldn't find a 30 ft. anaconda in our cluttered garage. Last year, I found a tiny earth snake trying to crawl on the tile floor.

@exexec That tiny snake was probably a worm snake. I accidentally stepped on one outside on the ground next to the deck. I looked down at first thinking it was a big worm but it wasn’t as soft as a worm. Kind of felt sorry for it. I read about them and the map of their habitat was that they were east of here by one county so I guess they’ve migrated.

@cherokeepatti Could be. I released it before checking my snake book. Did find a worm snake in our mulch this spring.

@AngelUnforgiven I’ve heard of people staying in motels that found guns under the mattress

@Confined Had a friend that I worked with that told me she went into her bedroom one evening after she got home from work and smelled something like a dead rat. She went and told her husband and they went in there and it was a copperhead snake. He sent her to get a broom and a hoe and they killed it. They lived out in a rural area and copperhead snakes can be thick here in rural areas.

@Thevy29 Just in case I jinx myself and actually find what I name under my bed... 🤞 A guy can dream.

I knew someone who was allowed to live in a rent-free brick home as part of his job and he moved out because of the scorpions. He was a coach and the home had been previously occupied by the principal who also moved out. Couldn’t deal with the scorpions coming in the house. Maybe they were coming up through the septic pipes if it was outside the city. They’ll come up in the warm months if the drains get dried out.

@cherokeepatti we let the armadillos eat at the farm. Scorpions are on their diet plan !

@TexChik I didn’t know they would eat scorpions. They will root around looking for grubs to eat (and skunks do that too). Roadrunners also eat scorpions.
