Hmm. you think he snuck through into there and coulodnt get out? i mean. garter snakes CAN go through small spaces.

I'm not surprised at all. If there's dry and canned dog food being stored somewhere, well that equals mice to me. What follows mice? Anything that preys on them. Wait a minute. HOW BIG did you say that snake was??? Never mind. I've got snakes breaking into my house all the time. Usually big, smelly black snakes. Once a baby Eastern milk snake. That was cool! But that was just prior to my fever about snakes.

I think the snake just knew he would end up being found by a snake-wise person like Shannon. He just had to deal with the OTHER people to get to her!;-)

LoL. you guys crack me up.

Interesting story. I do have a theory. Cans of dog food will absorb heat during the day and remain warmer than the surrounding area, all night long. Wouldn't be a bad place for a garter to spend a cool night.
