I hear fresh snake is good, but I think that one might be a little to fresh.
I think she PLANTED IT
I guess the snake was out “grocery” shopping. I hope for its sake it was masked up.
We have a lake cabin - rustic, but I wouldn’t expect wildlife to be IN it. My bro was up early making coffee ... some movement caught his eye ... he was somewhat shocked to see a fairly large black snake coming out from behind the microwave that was sitting on the kitchen counter! Fortunately, he was the one who saw it, not ‘certain other’ folks in the family who would have likely fainted. Anyway, the snake was caught & released outside. We do not know how it got in, but it was likely hunting mice ... which we do have on occasion in the cabin.
Years ago in a Miami grocery store I found a huge hairy tarantula guarding a bunch of bananas. I went home without any bananas that day.
Better a python than something actually dangerous. Even at that size, a python is unlikely to pose much of a threat as long as it’s not being antagonized. Anyone familiar with pythons would be able to handle and remove it from the area.
The store is probably free of rats, though
FYI
Sydney police have taken the snake into custody for traveling beyond it’s allotted radius and refusing to wear a mask . . .
Their new mouse/rat catcher
Ya know, the snake part didn’t bother me, but reading “volunteer snake catcher” and finding out that’s a thing in Australia because of all the wildlife... Nope. Just... Nope.
It just wanted some Prey Topper.
Hi.
In Florida be very careful in any nursery, or even a Walmart or Target outdoors.
Poison ropes all over the place. Especially those damn pigmy rattlers.

Went to collect eggs from the coop a couple of nights ago and there was a big black snake wrapped around four eggs. The hen was sitting right above that nesting box. When I shone my flashlight on the snake, the hen looked down at and and gave out a little concerned squawk. Went out the next morning and the hen has gone into broody mode. Either that or she’s sitting on a snake. She hasn’t gotten off of the eggs since. Don’t have a rooster though so her efforts are in vein. I’m gonna get some fertilized eggs from a neighbor and swap them out. Hawks killed the other 5 hens and a rooster I had but this one’s a survivor so I want her to raise some chicks. She’s also been laying eggs for months on zero feed so if she can teach them that too ...
Or... Clean up in aisle 7... 🤓
How did the snake get in without wearing a mask?
