Thanks everyone. Yeah, in retrospect I should have killed it, but it’s gone now. When I throw those boxes away this weekend I’ll be picking them up REALLY carefully. I hate to kill a snake, since I love them. I’m the year of the snake, and have even had a few as pets, but a dangerous one this close to me and my family should be destroyed. My girl is almost 5 and she was terrified of it so I don’t have to worry about her seeking them out of curiosity. I’m definitely looking into those snake fences.

By the way, don’t roadrunners eat snakes? I saw one of those walking along the fence a few days ago. Do they make roadrunner attractant?

Now let’s talk about the scorpion I found in the garage.
