So I'm sitting in my chair at the computer and happen to look down. There by my foot is what looks like a snake head. It is attached to two and a half feet of snake body and tail! In our living room, calmly sitting there as though it were my pet.
Fortunately, I like snakes... and since there are no venomous ones in this part of Ontario, I just as calmly put my hand down and grabbed it right behind where its ears would be. :lol: I supported the rest of its body and went to call David down to see it. Then we took it out and released it in a sheltered spot in the yard where there are lots of places for it to hide. It was very sluggish... must have overwintered in our cellar.
I think it was a rat snake... very nice markings in brown and tan. Hope it sticks around and grows and grows...
