That bloodcurdling scream you may have just heard

Glad to hear that he's ok. What's the status on his drawers? :mrgreen:

 

:lol:

Nor his Clorox!

 

1...No, I still haven't seen Jake again. but I know he's there, snakey snickering at me..(picture Bill Murray in Caddy Shack..varmint Cong...)
2. As she said, C6 slept wonderfully last night, as did I. I figured that if Jake came calling, I'd save my strength for the freak out when and if it happened.
3. Glad that my foibles have amused so many. We'll have this to laugh about for a while.
4. I'm ok, until the next case of heebie jeebies....
5. what's that noise I keep hearing? When I look, it goes away...:lol:

 

Hat, you ever heard that song "Sneaky Snake"?

 

Yeah...old Tom T. Hall song...but was he talking about a snake or sumpin' else..(yoiu know Tom T Hall had a way with his lyrics...lol :lol:

 

Boys and girls take warning, if you go near the lake
Keep your eyes wide open, and look for sneaky snake
Now maybe you wont see him, maybe you wont hear
But hell sneak up behind you, and drink all your root beer

And then sneaky snake goes dancin, wigglin and a-hissin
Sneaky snake goes dancin, gigglin and a-kissin
I dont like old sneaky snake; he laughs too much you see
When he goes wigglin through the grass, it tickles his underneath

Well, sneaky snake drinks root beer, and he just makes me sick
When he is not dancin, he looks just like a stick
Now, he doesnt have any arms or legs, you cannot see his ears
And while we are not lookin, hes stealin all of our beer

And then sneaky snake goes dancin, wigglin and a-hissin
Sneaky snake goes dancin, gigglin and a-kissin
I dont like old sneaky snake; he laughs too much you see
When he goes wigglin through the grass, it tickles his underneath

 

DH thougt that maybe he is a she and she came in to lay her eggs that will hatch end of August early September.
Years ago we had a snake come in an open screen door (the dogs would push the patio door's screen open to watch us working in the yard) from a deck during an abnormally dry Summer. Since the dogs let the snake in they surrounded it and sent out the alarm. Before I got to the kitchen I knew they had cornered a snake, you could smell it too. It was terrified.
How do you think your's came in? You have a dog? I'm sure a dog could find it. Although left alone as much as it has been it could be anywhere.
I've seen black snakes scale the side of a house, tree, porch; they defy gravity. They also can squeeze into the tightest of spaces. Any appliances he/she could have gotten under?
Happy Hunting.

 

Well, when you take my money, baby,
when you hurt my family
it's like walkin' through the swamps without no shoes
and step on a snake, it's deadly.
Ah oo, let's cry for the bad man.
Ah oo, I wrote a song for the bad man.

 

BL,
You're so very helpful with your post. I received much comfort from it. Now a new set of worries...a snake laying eggs in the house. Thank you so much..:ack:

Note to self: There will be a very cheap house on the market come the end of August . . . remember to make previous owner remove recliner in basement . . . and clorox.

 

If only you had listened to me yesterday you would now be relaxing in the pool at the hotel and counting the money from the sale of your house. But NO, you had to be a hero and stay in the house.

Next time maybe you'll listen. :banghead:

 

still just a harmless snake. Come on over to my house and I'll let you hold one of 5 pet snakes.

Boy, if I only had a nickel for everytime I've heard that line . . .:mrgreen:

 

LOL.....well I do have 5 pet snakes at the house....wife even picked out 4 of them.

 

And what about snake #5? Would it happen to be a NC trouser snake? :jester:

Don't mind me tonight . . . I've been in the garage pricing yard sale stuff and I am hot and dirty and in need of a bath!

 

Oh and while I was digging in boxes it crossed my mind that I might run up on a snake so I kept a clear path between me and the door!

 

Sorry, didn't think you would want to live in blissful ignorance.

 

Good Morning Hat,

Hope all is going well on your end and from reading through the Thread it looks as though you have not found the snake. We have plenty of oxygen on our end, if needed, when you do find it and the little ones later this summer. :lol::lol:
