So I get home from a long day at ren faire today, and I've got some time to kill so I am like, "Hey look, internet time!"
So I make my way down into my basement, where my computer happens to be parked, my trusty canine sidekick trotting at my heels. I flick on the lights and have hardly settled into my favorite computing chair when my dog starts freaking the hell out over in the corner.
So I'm all like, "Nala, fuckin' quit it"
And she goes and lies down, revealing to me a medium sized gardner snake writhing around the floor.
I then proceed to freak out a bit, but unlike my dog, I do not attack it with my teeth, but rather head over to the kitchen and go and grab a large metal pot cover, with which I have every intent of trapping the snake and then removing it from the premises.
And I'm standing, staring at this snake, getting closer and closer to it, pot cover raised up for reasons I am now finding rather elusive.
When it sees me and darts under my bookshelf.
Where I assume it is chilling right now.

I like this idea
Because I am incredibly unmanly
I mean hell, I planned on picking the thorns out of my bouquet of roses while internetting this eve
Seriously?
Are you asking for real?
then be cool and grab the snake
Okay so I was trying to arrange books around the base of my bookshelf to limit the ways it can escape and I saw a shedded snakeskin
It may have been living here for some time
Maybe there are more
Maybe I should just seal off the room and never look back
My plan was to shove a piece of cardstock underneath it and release it into the wild
Your dog is a pussy
then stroke it gently
it may smell your hand and strike where you hold the cardstock. Not poisonous but you might get pricked. Besides it already knows how to get back in
A couple weeks ago, I'm scared shitless again by a possum, about a quarter of the size of the first. I figure the first one I was was the mother pregnant with this little shit head.
Last night, a Skunk sprayed his fucking shit right next to my window.
God damn, people live here now you fucking things, go away.
That'll show the fucker.
Yeah she is
This is not the first snake based encounter in this basement, for the record
There was one in the bathroom like a month ago
garter snake
...that is what this thread's really about, right?

That's "boot".
Snake in my "boot".
or don't some snakes shed a skin when they get frightened?
A Gardner snake?
You pussy
I am pretty sure they only shed skin when it is time to shed skin.
Think of it as stress-related hairloss. That doesn't just happen, and when it does it doesn't happen the exact instant you get streesed, it takes a while.
And it takes forever for them to get out of the skin in the first place.
But the dog is a coward
You can't get stronger by eating a coward, so your best bet is to catch the snake and feed it to the dog
Then you'll have zero snakes and one courageous non-cowardly dog
especially during mating season you can get them to latch on to people's legs and start humping away and it's nearly impossible to get them off cause their claws are like five inches long
