Fortunately, when it saw me, it went on the defensive, rather than the offensive. But hey, not only do snakes keep the mice out, but don't cats keep the snakes out, and didn't you say that you hate cats, in the Unpopular Opinion thread ? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't uncommon to find some sliced up (and/or headless) near the drain at the outside basement steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Please. Theres a reason almost every martial arts movie and Wu Tang song makes some sort of reference to striking like a cobra or some ****. Make one move.... Your eyes even blink damn near, and it's going straight for the nutsack in a flash of fangs, scales, and exploding balls. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Snakes rule. I have a 5’ black fella that handles the riff raff in the yard out here. I catch him/her basking by the grille every now and then. I call him Kobe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your eyes even blink damn near, and it's going straight for the nutsack in a flash of fangs, scales, and exploding balls. ? This was actually my 2nd close-up experience with a snake, in about a month. And believe it or not, the last one was even more intimate, and not in a good way. It was the night before Hurricane Florence was to strike our city with a direct hit. I opened my front door at about 930pm, and there was a large snake facing my front door, like within an inch of it. He then makes a move or a surge, but not towards me, but an attempt to lunge inside. This may sound stupid in hindsight, but it was just a knee-jerk reaction (figurately and literally) as I kicked toward the snake to brush him away from the front door, so I could slam it shut. My sub-conscious was just thinking, "no way in **** am I allowing a snake to sneak inside my home". Fortunately I accomplished this successfully and safely. Don't know a whole lot about snakes, but I assume they can sense the pressure from a hurricane, and then seek cover. Maybe something to keep in mind for anyone hanging around an impending hurricane.

"Desert White Fish" is what I keep seeing online, I'm down. OT, I have a very unusual admiration for fired calamari. If I go to a good restaurant, and I end up with a bulb head and tentacles, my eyes light up like some anime character. Dad says I got it from him, though he never got that for me as a kid.

LadySkinsFan Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Moving to Texas invoked snake paranoia in me. So far, I haven't seen one snake.
