You’re all invited.
This morning there was a fucking SNAKE in my house. I saw one on our back porch recently, but I was pretty “meh” about it because I figured our indoor cat would keep any snakes from coming inside.
😐
This snakebitch was just chillin’, wrapped around the legs of my antique sewing table. The audacity.
So after capturing it and getting it out (there was a lot of screaming), I’m walking in our bedroom hallway and something gets stuck to my sock.
It was a dried up snake head (skin?) with EYES.
I am so sorry but I have to burn this place down immediately and move out of this state. It’s too much.

Oh dear.
I am very impressed that you got it out. We had one in our basement and it took me like 24 hours to get it out.
I'll pray for you and OMG to the skin.

I know nothing about snakes so I don’t know the type, but it was luckily pretty small. From tip of fingers to inner elbow, maybe. I knew our neighborhood had a problem with snakes (our neighbors have posted some photos of really big/scary looking snakes) but INSIDE is a whole different story. Is nothing sacred?!  I am hoping there isn’t a bigger, mom snake somewhere in my yard. Or house. |

Also, my guest room is available for you and your family to use for as long as you need. I have seen zero snakes around the premises.

Ummm, no thank you please. You are very very brave.
Also, why didn't your cat take care of that thing? I think you need to fire your cat.
