Oh i wouldn't put that past him. i can be trapped on the porch by a live snake by our house and he refuses to come to my aid , causally brushing my freak out by saying " the snake ain't bothering me"

There's your problem right there. As the resident snake expert, let me help you out - the last thing I want is another OB dead snake thread.
As most people in snake-infested Louisiana know, snakes are attracted to electromagnetic radiation - just like insects. You know how insects like to swarm around any light source - but insects don't have eyes. Well, they have eyes, but not in the typical sense (they can't actually see). It's the electromagnetic radiation given off by light bulbs that attracts insects. Same with snakes and your unplugged refrigerator.
I'm sure you're aware that electricity works by the movement of electrons passing from one source to another. When the fridge (or any electrical device, but especially fridges since they are so large) stays unplugged for any significant length of time, the electrons build up in the plug. This puts off strong electromagnetic radiation that attracts the snakes. Fortunately, there are two simple solutions - and they won't stink like mothballs or irritate the neighbors like rap music.
1) You can keep the fridge plugged in all the time. Of course, this creates a needlessly high electric bill.
Thus, a far simpler and cheaper solution:
2) Create an ion chain or an ion shield with salt. Most people are familiar with the junior high lab experiment where you create a "battery" with a potato. The key to this, of course, is the salt content of the potato (salt = NaCl, full of ions). To create an ion chain (some simply call this a "salt link"), lay the cord from the fridge on the ground, and pour salt on the plug and in a straight line until it touches the nearest wall with an outlet. Or, more simply, create an ion shield by filling a cup with 2-3 inches of salt (must be a paper cup - not glass or the heat it puts off will start a fire), then submerge the end of the plug in the salt. Either method will neutralize the electrons leaking from the plug.

Eliminate or mask the source of the electromagnetic radiation and your snake problems will end. Good luck!

Down has the answer... a rabbit with a baby.

You're weird

You have mice. Snakes don't go inside a structure unless following food. Learn to appreciate his aid in eliminating rodents.

that should work.

Mr Snake is just following along bumping into stuff like the dumb critter he is, and he finds some surface or angle that yanks his skin off.....

You could just buy hundreds of mice and drop em off all around your main residence...that should keep him out of your camp.


Or it is the refrigerator plug, and in that case you need lots of salt.

People will believe anything you say if:
a) you say it like you mean it
b) you use technical or scientific terms
...and, especially
c) you toss in a few phrases that make it seem like they should already know this.
