So I go down to the basement this afternoon after having started a load of laundry, and I almost step on this when going through the door to the laundry area.
That bit of "shine" in the bucket is a US quarter, which is almost 1 inch in diameter, so you can see the little guy isn't so little. I had to step over him to turn on the pump for the wash basin (as the auto switch is broken), then I came back, stepped lightly on his head & picked him up. He wasn't too happy about that either! Once I got him outside, I decided to take some pics, so I grabbed that bucket & threw a quarter in, for reference. Below is a video I took of me aggravating him a bit, so he would move about some. There's a point during it where I'd swear he hissed at me, but i don't think the snakes around here do that!? Pretty sure this was just an Eastern Garter Snake (not poisonous) based on the pics I find online. Almost wanted to keep him, but WTF am I gonna do with a snake!?
The biggest question I have right now is, how the fuck did a snake that big get into my basement!? Anyway, isn't he cute? ;-)
Link to video!
P.S. I think I might put a bid on a house tomorrow. It's got a really big garage, which will hold all of my stuff - two motorcycles, my weight set, the Matador, and my 4runner. Here's a pic of the two layouts I drew up.
And here's a link to the house I'm talking about...(link removed)
