Concerning stuff under our house–something posted to my Instagram feed but not here was the end story of the snake that lived under the house. During the various cleanup, furnace replacement and reinsulation projects, we came across a couple of very small shed snake skins. We assumed there was a wee snake somewhere under the house, and credited that as one of the reasons why we had few signs of rodents over the years. Eventually, however, Francesca made an appearance “upstairs,” and once I got over my initial shock of finding a small snake in the linen hallway, I managed to corral her into a box.
Once in the box, she was transported up towards the well tank, where we hope she is living happily.
Or, perhaps, this was her peeking around the garage last summer.
