Signs of spring: my guy came in to tell me there was a snake in the garage, and I went out to take some pics and see if I could encourage it to leave. We are a snake-friendly household, and never try to kill them unless they are lethal-to-humans venomous and pose a threat to us and the kids in the neighborhood, who often run through our yard.
It hid behind some boxes and buckets we keep under my guy's work bench. From the color and head shape I'm pretty sure it was a young black rat snake, and probably came in exploring to hunt for prey. Most snakes become aggressive when they feel cornered, so in the end we decided to leave the doors open so it could leave on its own. If it's a female looking for a place to nest we need to keep checking for it. Luckily my guy is cleaning out the garage this week.
