Wow! wonder if that was from Florida?
They've created a hell of a snake mess down there.
An old friend of mine told me one time as we were helping set up a Hare Scramble at Honda Hills, to be cautious if we move any old tires laying around, he had found snakes in them before. eeek!
I've grown accustomed to opening electric panels and finding critters and bees nest. I also had another buddy that worked HVACR work out in Phoenix AR back in the day. He would often be in craw spaces under houses and come across snakes and nasty spiders seeking refuge from the heat.
