I have a shop snake too, leave it be.
Also looks like you have a 2nd gen SV650 with a F3 rear wheel swap...

As a kid, I used to collect snakes. Had a water moccasin, black racers, a copperhead. The only thing I've had in my shop/garage are skinks. I let them be. They eat lots of insects. Just wish they'd eat spiders.

Agree. Whilst we don't have too many snakes in the UK, on a similar note a good friend of mine is a farmer. One winter a fox moved into one of his cattle barns. Most farmers would go for their shotgun but this time my friend let the fox stay and by the end of winter he told me that he had not seen any rats for ages, which was unusual.

They are all just copper mouth water rattlers to me.

In Douglas and Elbert County they are good as dead. I dont' know about in the foothills but near Franktown and th Castlewood Canyon area we have a over abundance of rattlers, almost a unhealthy population. In fact im told animal control in Castle Rock and Douglas County will destroy rattlers too. Bull snakes are more beneficial then the rattlers in these parts. We also have a unhealthy population of Deer, epecially in and around the Pinery but thats another topic.
So far three days and no mice in the traps. Seems unlikely that I had only the one I caught in the glue trap, but anything's possible I guess. Anyway, I guess I'll try to just grab the snake next time I see it. I'll either succeed and put it outside, or I'll fail and just give it a name....
re: the post about throwing a possum out. The way to carry a possum is by his tail, the END of the tail. He will try toclimb up his tail to get a bite out of your hand, so you just shake him down every now and then.
I don't recommend possum for eating. Too greasy.
Daddy was a WW1 veteran, wounded in the eye. Sometimes I wonder if he had flashbacks. Mama said he used to dream there was a snake in the house and get up with a stick and a light and hunt for the snake. Sometimes we would hear a banging in the walls of the old house and the folks said it was a snake after rats.
Don't remember seeing rats in the house.

Nice looking rear set too
Even more weird is that I found a giant spider in the living room about an hour after the snake. I'm not lying...
No luck after the hot women thread though

Well see, in the wild snakes are after mice... you have them so you attract the snakes. Spiders are after dark and warm places that they can trap other insects... so naturally they too are attracted.
Hot women on the other hand are not as much attracted to their natural counterparts as much as they are attracted to Benjamin Franklin. So if you want to have hot women enter your property like your snakes or spiders, you require lots and lots of money... they will come if you have it...

Watched a moccasin climb in to my first shop roll out cabinet and get behind one of my portable compressors. Called my neighbor as I did not want to move in case he moved. Neighbor came over, grabbed a flat shovel and gave me o hoe. I moved compressor, moccasin came out, neighbor pinned him to concrete and head came off. Here in Central Florida we deal with moccasins and Pygmy rattlers when in season. Just killed a pygmy last month that was in my house garage. Probably killed 6 pygmy,s this year. I also have a black snake that lives here, I guess I will have to get on him about his job performance.
