A Snake Is Too Close

When I am having a cup of coffee at the balcony, I saw a snake coiled on an electric wire in front of the house. I almost puke while drinking my coffee. The course of action is to compose myself and enjoy looking at it instead. In fact, I am itching to do something about it. Are you going to freak out when seeing it?

I asked my younger brother to check it while the snake playing back-and-forth on the electric wire. It fells down in the garden next to our house.

@amitkokiladitya I believe it is just a garden snake. I can kill it if it happens seeing it again.

I cannot stand snakes, but I am not scared when I see one in the garden and I am safely on my balcony.

I was so surprised when seeing it. The balcony is not that close to this creature. In my old house, I had killed most of them. Sometimes my cat can do it for me before.

@LadyDuck This time, I did not kill it. I am sure my dog will kill it once it enters my balcony.

@Shavkat Why should I kill a snake? They are harmless and they keep the garden clean from mice and slugs.

Seeing a snake would I freak yes just at first but I can also tell by looking at a snake if they are good or bad. So I’d it’s just a little garden or rat snake I wouldn’t bother with it because it won’t bother me.

I think it is a garden snake but it is quite a biggy one. I was really surprised and almost ran. The good thing is that the electric wire is not that too close at the balcony.

@ShyBear88 That would be the scariest snake if it is too big.

I did not do anything with this creature. It runs to the end of the electric post and hides in the garden.

Fortunately we don´t have snakes here. I would freak out, of course.

I assumed that this snake just popped out since it has been raining here every day now. Our house is between two houses with gardens.

I wouldn't freak out if I saw a snake. We get them occasionally here.

@Shavkat By 'get them', I mean they appear here occasionally.

Is it winter or summer at your place? Usually snakes appear in summer, but sometimes also appear in winter.
