Uninvited roommate…

Post image

I am 5’1. The shed was fresh😩
(My grandmothers house)
House was built in the early 1900s and has in wall storage drawers all throughout the upstairs.. She lives in the middle of several acres of cotton fields and hay fields, so field mice and rat snakes outdoors are always a problem around this time when they are cutting. No wonder we haven’t seen any mice in the house.

Colonel, you'd better take a look at this radar.

Terrifying, yes.
All that’s blurred out is a bag sitting behind me and my hand because it looks weird and I didn’t like it😔😂

Blurring out her own hand but leaving the snake skin longer than her completely visible is a bold choice

Rat snakes are rad though

yes! wouldn’t kill him unless I have to. It is my goal to hopefully be able to push him out by closing off most entrances/exits near the top of the house and leaving a opening under our porch so hopefully before winter he will move out. the field mice will run off too around the end of November. I’m not too worried because he’s at least kept to his side of the house, just would prefer he move out. 😂

This unfortunately is not the first time she has had snakes in the house - it just is ending with me.

Uninvited roommate is right. He pays no rent and still eats well.

He pays in pest control service.

The snake?

Or the human? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm sorry, but if I opened a drawer and found that, the entire house would officially belong to the snake now.

No mice in the house, but at what cost? x'D

u/NewOpposite8008 14h ago

Cool! Put it in a jar and enjoy

I saw something like this in the Alien series of films.

Slowly look up — but don’t then freeze up at what you see.

u/No-Zombie1004 13h ago

That skin looks like a massive tapeworm.

u/More_Raisin_2894 11h ago

Why is the hand blurred out?

u/zhenyuanlong 9h ago

Keep him! He pays rent in taking care of your rodent problem!

Oh that's not a cable

Omg, I thought OP was the uninvited guest, I was relieved it was just a snake. People are terrifying.

What sucks? It’s cool you have rat snakes to keep rodents under control. You know what really sucks? Hantavirus from a damned rodent. That sucks.

u/JeffTheNth 14h ago

it's likely eating the other uninvited guests...
might want to let this one stay around until there's no evidence of any other guests...
