Leanne, sorry if I scared you. I didn't think about that when I posted the pictures. Sorry.
JackSpratt & Sam (Fussy_Furball) I live in San Diego, California USA. I do get snakes from time to time in my garden because I live above a canyon wild life preserve. This is the first time I ever had one in my house. I did not know what kind of snake it was so it really freaked me out. Of course my first concern was what if it were venomous and if it had bitten my cats.
JackSpratt, you were right, it was a garter snake so in the end everyone was safe but you would have laughed so hard at me trying to catch that darn snake to get him out of my house...I even screamed a scream I've never heard come out of me before! lol
Sam (Fussy_Furball) so you think the snake is lovely heh?....Well, now that I look again...yes he is...he is now somewhere out in my garden. He seemed to be unharmed. I had called Animal Control to see if they would come and remove the snake, they said no, but they said it was very likely that the snake came in through the cat flap.
