At long last!
Rat Snake, Central Texas
Rats took over the little plastic shed that my pond/garden stuff is in. A school bus amount of rats would explode out every time I opened it. I shut it about a year ago and said good riddance to everything inside bc I honestly just did not even know where to begin with the eviction/cleanup. I have been praying to the herpgods to bless me with a big hungry rat snake, and today they did! I suited up to finally deal with the situation, but what’s this!? No rat explosion? what’s that OMG ITS A SNAKE curled up in a bucket of leaves 😍 SHES GORGEOUS! I want it to stick around, like, forever but how do I clean out the rat crap without scaring it away? Surely it can’t be safe for her to live in there the way it is. Should I temporarily remove her, clean the shed, and place her back?
