Snake under house

I like turtles

 

My house if I found a snake under it.

 

Similar situation happened to me: [a little back story]

Myself, my brother and his friend where living in this house together in south Louisiana close to the Bayou.

His friend was the camera man on this local backwoods bayou tv show. Well he caught this huge poisonous Black Cottonmouth - [I'm talking between 5' - 6' long] while they were out filming one day and brings it home and puts it in a damn terrarium with a simple lid over it. - like a board or something, I don't even remember it was so stupid.

Yeah the snake actually stayed in there for about 4 days. Then one morning everyone got up and the snake was gone. We never saw it again. I don't know if it went down the toilet or what but it was gone. For months I was freaked out as shit laying in my bed in the dark at night. I checked that room every morning and evening and night for a month.

 

Most likely harmless but, you've bumped your head. A rat snake has a mouth full of needle like teeth (NOTHING like a bass) for grasping and holding prey. I've been bitten by one on more than one occasion when I was a kid, after handling and harassing them untill they became irritated.

 

Don't feal bad;had one get in my house,and didn't know it".Until it crawled in to the back panel of the dryer,and shorted across the power cord{220 volts},had to get a new dryer.not a plesant thing.

 

WEll we made it through the first night. If the guy would've never said anything I wouldn't be thinking about it or anything like that. I hope he finds the same hole he came in and leave. I'm going to lowes to get some silicone or something the fill in the gap between the ac line and the brick on the house. Hopefully I won't trap him under the house and he can't get out

 

Even though they are harmless, their bite is also full of bacteria. You can get a very nasty infection from a small bite. Not recomended you let them "bite you."

 

Made it through the first night? Black snakes are harmless not nuclear bombs. Sheesh. Leave the hole open. As soon as it finds no food it'll move on somewhere else. They don't hang around very long.

 

Haha ya, if you try and grab the rat snake you have already been bitten or at least stuck at.

 

This, more good than bad and definitely not worth an exterminator. Don't kill it, it won't hurt. Not making fun of anybody but I don't understand being scared of snakes.

 

Evil. Pure evil. But funny.

 

This one is red on yellow and red on black IMO.

So how you tell??????

 

No red touching black.

 

Ahh so the yellow stripe makes it safe

 

Scarlet King, red touching black and lack of a black nose. Subtle identifying marks. Very different animals.

 

TY.

 

I have a fairly new house, built 2004. One night my wife calls me from the master bedroom - right there smack in the middle of the floor was a 20" or so corn snake. I tried to catch it but it escaped, naturally, into her closet.

I spent a couple of hours emptying the closet out before I got my hands on it. I let it go in the woods in my back yard.

I had a few pet snakes as a kid, it was astonishing to see how they could escape from cages that you would think would be completely impossible to escape from. But they did.

 

I didn't "let" them. I'd catch them as pets, keep them a couple of days, handling them the whole time, just seems to get aggressive after a few days, like they were tired of it. It worked, I'd let them after they bite or attempted to strike/bite .

Also few if any snakes protect their young.

 

My son went to leave for work yesterday and found this guy waiting for him...let's just say the snake lost his head
