A homeowner heard a rattle when he got out of his car … in the garage. He didn’t see the snake, but that sound is unmistakable. He called our hotline, and Jeff went out to try and find it. It wasn’t visible, but tapping the ground with his tongs made it sound off from the corner near a water softener. With no clear entry point and garage door seals well maintained, it likely just wandered in while the door was open at some point.
As always during this time of year, the snake was released to a spot suitable for over winter hiding. In this area, that means a deep packrat nest (shown here).
