Unexpected guest

We occasionally get a mouse in our crawl space. Until yesterday, I was pretty sure that, after years of work, I had finally plugged the "last" hole. I checked the four traps I had set and saw that all four had been tripped. Looking closer, I saw that two traps were moving and they were clamped onto a hissing and striking foot-and-a-half snake. Successful snake removal and inspection found that it was a Bull snake. Extracting the snake from the traps was interesting. I last saw it crawling toward my neighbors. Steven King could use this material. Back to searching for the "last" hole...
