When it comes to snakes, I lose my man card and not afraid to admit it!

Appreciate the support and camaraderie, folks. This was like the beginning scene of a bad B-movie for me, lol.
It does seem that I need to clarify something. The fellas (and ladies) worked very hard to coax that slippery little reptile out from the hole in which he'd wedged himself, to no avail. Since it was getting late in the day, it was recommended that I leave the car in the parking lot overnight. Their reasoning was that as there was no food source and it would be dark and quiet, he would slip out on his own and piss off. Mission apparently accomplished, saving some poor professional from having to be bothered with it.
Had the car searched inside and out this morning - three times - and he has apparently moved on. But, I swear I kept feeling something touching my foot as I drove home. Surely, it was my imagination....well, hopefully it was.
All in all, I feel very lucky to have had so many people willing to run right over and help tackle this situation. Needless to say, I will be baking up a storm this weekend to show my gratitude. If any of you were closer, I'd happily bestow some edible gratitude your way, as well.
Thanks again for listening.
Sorry, dude - I didn't anywhere near that car to snap a picture. I heard a few of the guys took pics and/or video with their phones, but I never saw it. I'll ask about it tomorrow and post one, if they did.
I know, right?! Apparently, one of the guys found it behind the warehouse and boxed it up to take it home. But, as the dude was walking to his car, the little sucker bolted out of the box, zipped up the sidewalk and then took refuge in my front fender / wheel well.
So, it sounds like he was just trying to get away and saw my car as way out. The poor guy felt really bad about freaking me out so much, bless his heart.
Well, the main guys that were working on 'liberating' him swear that he was a rat snake or king snake, which I don't think are poisonous. Something about him having round irises in his eyes?
Oh, no pardon necessary. I think those were actually my first words when it happened. As far as I'm concerned, the only good snake is a dead snake.
LOL, I did ask if there was such a thing as 'snake poison' at one point.
Oh, thank goodness I'm not!
Where the hell were you yesterday!?
No shame in that, my friend. Even though there were quite a few manly men willing to handle the snake, there were some that ran screaming like women. I think there is video of that, too, lol.

Speaking of snakes, it reminds me of something I heard on the Crocodile Hunter some time ago. I'm not sure how true it is. I'm not a snake expert. It was said that as far as venomous snakes go, the baby snake's bite can be worse then an adult's because baby snakes can't control how much venom they use and often give everything they got whereas an adult can control how much venom they dish out. Again, don't know if it's true or not. If it is, it's a fantastic bit of knowledge.

lol That's another thing about snakes. It often doesn't matter how big they are, they can still level you with a venomous bite.MissGuided said:

I had one in my backyard this spring. My neighbors have a huge unkept pool and I'm sure that's where it came from. I had nothing to kill it with so I got a random pipe from a car (my hubby rebuilds cars in the garage, so I'm sure he'd be pissed to know I used it) from the garage and proceeded to beat it. It slithered around the sides of the house until I had it pinned. I squished it with the sharp edge of the cut pipe and severed its head.
I promptly went back inside and freaked the hell out.

Haha MissG should have hired me and my shotty pipe to beat it out of her car. I can't imagine the state of the car afterwards, but it would be snake free.

Here in the South, those suckers are rampant during the summer. We could start a business and make a fortune!

I'm there. I'll bring the sharp pipes. We can fry them up no the radiator after we catch them!

Shoot it. That's what they do out here. Jeremy had to shoot one about 2, 3 weeks ago. Was right outside the back door. Shot the head off.
