Last week we we so lucky to find a snake at the kennel. If course, Charles and Rob were both gone so we were on our own. After a couple hours and several failed attempts at removing it from the basement, we called a wildlife removal company to come out. They arrived about an hour later and quickly removed the snake. The gentleman let us know that it was a Northern Water Snake and that they tend to live near water and also in trees over waterways. They will sometimes fall out of trees into passing boats!! YIKES…no thank you.
