We are expecting temps. near 100 today with high humidity so I decided to cut the grass early this morning. Getting that done I returned the mower to the shed and walked back to the house. I started checking the roof as I approached the house. I try to keep sticks and other debris off of it.
Suddenly something caught my eye. It looked like a stick was caught under the flashing between the two additions. I stopped walking and concentrated on that area. Just then the stick moved and pulled back under the flashing. Smart snake. As soon as he knew I was watching him he retreated. It looks like I have a radix in my attic.
Well, maybe not my attic but their up on the roof now.
I'm sure he climbed the inside of the siding and made his way up. I love my house other than the wet basement.

You need to tell that snake he's not a bat.

We recently had a small colony of about 12 bats decide that our front porch was home. I'd have preferred snakes :D

Bats are awesome. Would love to have more of them around here.

Bats are awesome. I hold them a close second to my amphibians as the only "pesticide" I need to be happy.

Any bats in my area should be having a good year as the mosquito population in out of control.

That's without a doubt why we have so many.

The freakin' mosquitos are insane here

We have a rule around here about snakes on the "roof". After last year's tragic escape and premature death of Noodle (who used to coil around the temp and humidity gauges), we always admonish our silly serpents for climbing up on the roof of their home. However, as expected, your Radix has taken this to a completely different "level" (No pun intended):D
