Look
what
I
found
this
morning!!
UPDATE: 1:30 pm Animal Control was just here and removed the snake from my premises!
I also wrote to a Texas website http://www.bugsinthenews.com/ to get a description to what type of snake this is...this is his response:
Dee---Your snake is a non-venomous rat snake, from all indications one of several subspecies of Elaphe guttata. Due to the number of splotches on its spine it is likely either a corn snake (Elaphe guttata guttata) or a southwestern rat snake (Elaphe guttata meahlmorum). It feeds on mice, rats, small insects, bird eggs, etc. If you have not disposed of it yet, you will probably be able to save its life merely by pouring clean, cool, cooking oil on the glue board and letting the snake wriggle itself free on its own. Lard works too, and may even be healthier for the snake. Don't get too much of the oil too close to the snake's mouth, or it will suck some into its windpipe, which will lead to respiratory problems later on---Jerry Cates
Yeah right...like I was going to get that close to the snake!
