Harmless little guy. We get snakes in our house pretty frequently. Mostly our own fault.

You sound like my wife who announced she was ready to sell. We have a lot of property out back that backs up to woods. What does she expect? Just got to deal with it. I have no idea what I’m doing but managing.

We have tons of snakes around our house. Older, fairly wooded neighborhood. I've only seen a few moccasins near the creek which isn't that close to us but I see a variety of non venomous ones throughout the year in the yard. They don't bother me much. My wife loses her mind over them though

My wife was told, "She was not girl scout material" when she went on a 2 day camping trip when she was younger. She said she screamed at the top of her lungs when she saw a spider in the little cabin they were in.

No way my wife lets a snake in the house slide after the first encounter.

I get brown snakes and ring neck snakes a lot during the spring. Don't mind those.

Now the 4-5ft rattlesnake that bit my dog, he can frick off.

We have a big back porch with French doors and when the weather is nice we leave them open a lot. We also have a cat (not my idea) and 2 dogs and they like to bring us gifts.

I was mostly raised at my grandparent's house and they had 38 acres, much of it wooded, so I grew up around snakes. They don't really bother me much as long as they don't surprise me.

I have some snake deterrent crap to throw out in the yard. I’ll do that. Don’t know what good that’s going to do but we shall see.

Nothing is what it'll do. We had more snakes at my last house. My wife swore that moth balls would keep them away. I killed about a 2 ft moccasin curled up next to her moth balls one night

It is indeed a harmless dekays brown snake. Eats slugs, lizards, and things like that. I have found a few in my yard.

Memorize the shape and look of the head. Rat snakes and Corn snakes have the same looking head. I had to look up the Brown snake, and it's in the same family. Colubrids are not harmful to humans (at least in America AFAIK). Corn snakes are probably the most common pet snakes, because a lot of them are so purty.

Garter snake is a Colubrid as well so it wasn't a bad guess, but they tend to have racing stripes. And they seem to have skinnier bodies to me, or maybe the stripes just make them look slimmer.

I was keeping my boots on the back porch while cleaning up after Laura. Sat down to put them on one morning and out came a snake that looked just like that. It slithered between my feet and disappeared. I'm keeping my work boots in my shop now and putting them on out there in the mornings. I should probably reconsider this practice.

I had the cat drop a live snake on my feet during a work Zoom call last year. Hilarity ensued for a few seconds until I realized it was just a ribbon snake. Damn thing was like 2 ft long though.

So snake got in the house. Wife freaked out. I learned my lesson b4 and just relocated it.
Pro tip - cats can climb fences anyway




Thanks, you beat me to it bc I took too long pondering what kind of innercity opposite of a rural person is putting a fence up for cat corralling. Thank you
