That sure sounds like a Ring Neck snake.

We have them and they’re an olive-brown with stunningly bright yellow or orange bellies and a small ring around their neck, much like a collar.

You can just pick one up and have a pet, they’re so mellow.

I just finished the night’s first recon mission.

Still no signs.

Still praying.

Good Luck on finding your Snake. A few years ago I might have said “A Snake?” but sense then I know loving pets come in many shapes and sizes. A few years back all my daughter wanted for Christmas was a Turtle. I found out how much time proper care of a Turtle would take, and knew a lot of it would fall on me. Well I actually have a lap turtle! He responds to his name and we can take him out in the yard and he let’s neighborhood kids pet him, no retreating into the shell. He’s about 5 years old now and I won him over with shrimp, I believe. He’s so friendly and trusting he would not survive in the wild. You’re doing the right thing with the mice, etc. One day Bob (turtles name) lodged himself under some
furniture and only some Xtra large shrimp would bring him out! Because he was a Christmas gift, each year we allow him to pick out a Christmas movie. We lay out the DVD’s on the floor and he always walks over to A Christmas Story! Probably the colors of the box but it cracks us up! Would your snake head to your car engine for warmth? I’ve always heard of snakes being found there. Is HE named after Alice Cooper? The only HE Alice I could think of! If so that’s funny! Good Luck!

I just looked up Ring Snake on google. That is not it. The snake I saw had a pale yellow belly and was brown on top with some sort of design. Our beagle, Elmer, had one cornered the other day and when my husband went to get him, the snake struck at the RTV but that may have been because he was stressed out.

Woke up thinking about Alice. It may take awhile, but I am sure she will appear. Can you plug the holes in your log cabin with steel wool in case she is still indoors?

I’ve heard the same thing about Kings. Been kinda tempted if we ever found another around here...

Hope you find him and he’s doing well.
