I was working on some welding projects this weekend, and was going to beef up the floor of an old jeep axle trailer a friend gave me. I saw something moving under it, on the far side of the axle. Peering into the void where the brake drum used to be, I see....
As if I still wasn't sure, looking under the trailer I see... 
I don't know what that 5 foot chicken snake was doing wrapped around that axle, but I decided to work on my trailer another day 
The wife has the dogs penned up nowadays so they don't dig up the flower beds before our oldest daughter's wedding. I told her there would be no snakes in the yard (or deer or gophers) if the dogs were free. She offered to turn them loose but I wouldn't let her.
In my younger days, if it slithered it died, but now I only kill poisonous snakes and snakes that get in my personal space. Since he had the trailer first, I conceded defeat. But, if I catch him in my shop, he better have a mouse in his jaws or I'm gonna bust him (as soon as I get my heart rate down and my fingers out of the rafters.) Since copperheads and moccasins are not rare here, and coral snakes and rattlers are not unheard of, I am known to shoot first and identify later when it comes to Eve's partner-in-crime.
Oh, and I'll use a levergun if I think about it .

Garden hose won't reach. I live in the COUNTRY! i wiggled the trailer back and forth and he just wrapped up tighter. If Really wanted him out, I'd of fired up the welder (but no hood with a snake around)
