Visitors of the serpent classI love critters great and small, however the latest visitor took my breath away. As I worked on one of my beds a sudden slithering movement caught my eye. It was a long black snake with white markings and beady eyes. He quietly climbed up the side and into a convenient hole in the side of my home and underneath as if he lived there, which I hope he doesn't with all my heart. My husband feels he's a non-poisonous variety and looked for temporary abode. (I think he was making me feel better) Such is life in beautiful, rural North Carolina. I'll take it.

What a pity you didn't have a camera handy GG. I love reptiles and have a Western Hog Nose Python upstairs in a large vivarium.
Would loved to have seen a photo also GG, sounds like a great find.
Well Gater...I don't think thatyour man was just trying to make you feel better. I believe that it was a snake type called a "black racer". If it is, they are absolutely not poisonous and in fact eat rats and mice among other things. I'd leave him be...you guys can easily co-exist. He won't harm you at all.
I would have died! I'm not used to snakes, since the two varieties we have here are rarely seen. I hope he works for his board and helps you get rid of the vermin.
