That's one way to keep the equipment shed free of unwanted little critters.

We’ve had a couple of Texas rat snakes but my wife makes me get rid of them. I catch them and carry them to a nearby park. I keep telling her that they’re good for the yard, but she is adamant - either I get rid of the or she’ll kill them.

As far as I’m concerned, that shed belongs to them now.

If you (or anyone else) really “need” to get them out of an area you there are some effective snake repellents on the market. I use Snake Scram Professional to keep snakes out of my garden…
It is a mid term between letting them be and forcibly moving elsewhere.

Going to let them stay for now. We get a decent amount of field mice around here, maybe theyll help cut down on that a bit. Unless 4 turns into 20 more lol

As long as they are not Danger Noodles, I'm fine. Mrs. Beard is not fine with any of them.

Yep, agree they are probably beneficial but Mrs Kato would disagree. We would have to move.

Every time I go into my sheds I open the door first and peak in. I feel like many things can make their way in there. A couple of weeks ago I was getting the hoses out and there was a giant hornet on the mower. I got it with a shovel. Snakes? I may actually freak out haha.

Wanna have a stroke? This is how you have a stroke. We have a manual open garage door. When my husband pulled it down one evening last summer a 5 foot black snake came down with it on top of him. 6’2” big man screamed like a schoolgirl and I believe May have cried a little. I was inside the house in a bathtub of running water nowhere near the garage and heard him. I flew outside trying to hold a freaking hand towel in front of me in panic. I don’t know why that was my choice of coverup over the bathtowel hanging from the hook right next to me. I never saw that snake but my husband was the color of ivory soap. I would’ve have stroked out of it happened to me.

Meh, as long as they aren’t copperheads, or cottonmouths, they don’t bother me. My wife freaks out though, lol! (not a copperhead)
As long as you don't take them on a plane, they are harmless.

When I find them in the skimmers, it is hard to tell what kind of snek: good snek, nope rope or danger noodle.
