I Was Shocked

My sister sent me this photo a few weeks ago. I was totally shocked when she told me this snake lives under their home and that they like that he lives on their property. She said that he is a good snake. That he is not poisonous and that they have even named him Sneaky Snake. I thought that she was like me and petrified of snakes. I hope that Sneaky Snake will stay clear of me.

He looks like one that would come out of a wicker basket when a snake charmer played music. I would place a good bet that there is at least one snake under my house..but as long as they stay there..OK with me. They probably catch mice.

Yes, they definitely eat the rats and mice. We definitely have them too. From our back window there is a tree branch that we occasionally see a snake sunning on. Just seeing it from my window freaks me.

@Tampa_girl7 As long as I don't step on one, it's all good as far as I'm concerned.

It’s a lucky snake that it chose their yard.

That’s what I hear, but they still petrify me.

I hope Sneaky Snake stays clear of you too. I guess he keeps the rodent population down

Yes, they are very helpful to keep rodent population under control.

It's surprising how calm your sister is about Sneaky Snake living under their home.

I don’t understand her calmness at all. Snakes freak me out.

I have seen that kind around here, out by our garage shed. One came across the street from the empty field also. I like that I do not have mice and rats because of them.

No, I don't like them either.
I am glad that she finds it nice that they share the property, I would have called the real estate agent to list the house if it were me, oh wait, that was one of the reasons why we sold our former place, that and down-sizing.
I am terrified of snakes and I freeze when one crosses my path.

I do not blame you being scared of snakes myself.

Snakes eat pests like mice and rats. As long as they aren’t poisonous snakes they’re beneficial. I have neighborhood cats for that, but they’re pretty expensive to keep.

I'm sorry you're scared of snakes... I'm not fond of them, either... As long as they stay outside and aren't on my porch or between me and my car when I need to go out, then I don't mind. They catch mice and rats and keep them from getting in the house free of charge. That's a nice bonus for leaving a snake alone.

To be fair Sneaky Snake looks like a nice snake.
I'm sure he would not harm anyone.
Not poisonous so nothing to worry about.
What a great creature to have live under ones house
