Hi Etzina,
How big is the snake you supposedly found? Would you consider it a danger to you and your "doggies" because you're scared of it, or because of something else?
Consider these thoughts:
1.) The snake outside your house you found & hiding in the hole inside the storage room could be doing you and everyone there a really BIG favor by preying on all those bloody
cat-sized rats that i believe ran abound your place. And during this rainy season, a very nasty & extremely deadly efficient bugs called
Rabies &
Leptospirosis, which by the way are both bloody incurable, are inherently even more present and carried by these bloody rodents, such as those
cat-sized rats. Now these rats spread these disease by its saliva & urine. The
Rabies is transfered by bites, while the
Leptospirosis which is water-borne, carried by flood & rain into the pores of your feet & legs. Would you like to have these bloody nasty viruses afflict you instead and let your place be crawling with all these bloody vermits who carries these incurable and totally fatal viruses? Or would you rather give them the run for their bloody lives to them snakes who feeds on them bloody rats?
2.)You are not a natural prey to the snake, and so are your dogs. You're too big to be bloody eaten by the snake. And your "doggies" aren't it's natural diet, so i believe they're probably safe too. As a matter of fact, the bloody dogs themselves are even more dangerous to the snake. Rather than the other way 'round.
3.)If you let the snake be, it will not go out of its way to bite or harm you or your "doggies". It will only strike if provoked, cornered or injured. And once again, i believe this snake is harmless. Aside from its bite, would inflict a rather bloody painful bite and a fair amount of mechanical injury, they themselves are non-venomous. The worst you can get is a couple of stitches and a tetanus shot, if your bitten by the snake. However, the bites or just even the urine of them
cat-sized rats, on the other hand, would be quite the opposite. Probably a very long and bloody painful death, either from
Rabies (which snakes nor any other reptiles don't have; only mammals have them, such as rodents); or from contaminated water by
Leptospirosis. Choose your bloody poison, dearie...
4.) Don't mind the snake, don't think about it. Or rather, welcome it as a co-inhabitor of your place. Protecting you & everyone else from all those bloody pests & diseases.
Now, you asked me if you missed something out. These are the bloody facts that you missed out. The facts that you haven't considered the side of the herp that's trying to do its bloody job as a mobile
pest-control unit. These are the BEST pests & rodent control, even better than industrial & commercially available
Racumin poison. They're extremely efficient, works for free, and environmentally-friendly too (no puns intended).
You're lucky to have snakes in your place. It means that your place is probably rat-free.
Get rid of these snake(s), and for sure the bloody
cat-sized rodents with their bloody diseases would come marching back in.
I strongly consider you these thoughts ma'am. Thanks for your inquiry.
Have a great night.
Cheers!!!
