Snakes in a closet

[maxaholic]

So I was getting ready to hit the sack this evening when I noticed my 3 year old Corgi looking at something funny in the closet "his room". I thought to myself for a split second and said self we live in the country, I bet there is a snake in there. So I put on my boots looking for some type of protection. Made a pull s*** away stick from a hanger and found the little bastard. Don't know what kind it was but instinct told me run get a shovel to kill the demon sent from hell. A little background of where I live (more like where I sleep). It is a 30'x70' shop with apartments on one end. The rents cheap and it's all I need. So that being said the shovel was right outside my door. Grabbed the shovel and commenced to play peek a boo with this (say next part in an Aussie accent) little Sheila. At this point I'm bout to say eff it and burn the place down. Then it stuck it's head out perfect for the death blow to decapite its head. I then shouted at the top of my lungs "I'M TIRED OF THESE MOTHER F***ing SNAKES IN THIS MOTHER F***ing CLOSET". It was kinda of black with some yellow on its belly if anyone wants to take guess at what kind it was.

And if anyone knows anyway of keeping them away I'm all ears. This makes the second one I've killed. First one was in the bathroom.

I just googled it and it is a speckled king snake.

Well by looking at the picture I can tell you for sure what kind of snake it is.......a dead one lol

I figured it was a king snake before scrolling up
You shouldnt have killed it, they eat other snakes including poisonous ones

I thought about it right before I gave the death swing at it's execution. But I figured it I caught it and took it away it would probably wind up right back there again. Plus they have a bunch of little razor sharp teeth that carry bacteria. The bite would end up being just as painful in the long run as a rattlesnake.

fck a bunch of snakes in the house. My dad and mom had a breeding havin off the front porch this spring. He ended up having to get some 22 cal bird shot for his 22 hand gun. Thats when the fun started

Yeah, that's too bad that one had to go giving the nature of it being a good one to have around. I find snakes interesting. I'm not fond of poisonous ones nor would I want a pet snake but they don't worry me too bad. Just wild watching them move.

Don't get me wrong I don't mind snakes. They have their role in the ecosystem. I just don't like them in sight of me. Some of the lease country we pasture cattle on is grown up so thick it's ridiculous. When I have to walk through that crap to check fences or search for cattle I realize there is atleast a 1 or more snakes I don't see. The ones I do see I have to go around because lack of weaponry.
