Funny this coming up again, given the events of last night… Never reproduce with a spiteful covert narcissist. Your children will forever be their conduit to try and fuck with you.
There's a hole some-damn-where in the cab: I had a mouse build a nest in the glove box a couple of months ago. Maybe the snake was looking for the mouse? I would be totally cool with it coming through the truck at night on mouse patrol... just GTFO before I go to work!
If he'd escaped under the seat I'd have been stranded. Just glad I saw it while I was standing beside the truck... if it had slithered across my lap while I was driving, I'd have crashed. No question.
Dude! It could have crawled up his pants leg and bit him on the whammer hammer!!!! Non poisonous or not, on the wing wang!! Then he’d have to had to go to the hospital and explain that a snake bit him on purple headed yogurt slinger!! He have had to call into work and explain he can’t come in because a snake bit him on the magic man mushroom! to top it off, the people at work would all know that he got bit by a snake on the one eyed wonder worm! “There he goes, homeboy that got bit on the penis by a snake.”
We have a big Maine Coon mix barn cat who takes care of the rats. He brings them to the porch live, plays with them, kills them, then eats half and then leaves me the other half. Sometimes he eats the whole thing. I have videos of him chowing down on them that I'll put on a YT channel when I get around to it. You can get a barn cats from a local ranchers. They normally have an over abundance of them. Make sure you feed them, they have clean water, vaccinate them and put good flea and tick solution on them once a month. Give them a place to hide from coyotes and a place to live. They will take care of your rat problem. No rats no snakes.
There's a couple of them around. My cul-de-sac road has 80 acres of territory for them to cover, though. Dunno why they aren't breeding. I can't get a good enough look at them on my trailcams to determine their undercarriage, but it would be a statistical outlier if four or five animals were all the same gender.
Put food out for them and see if you can get them to hang around your place more. Might backfire and attract skunks so you'll have to monitor it. Our barn cat weaseled his way into the house where he stays at night in a 3 floor kennel (bathroom, kitchen, bedroom) and eats. I dont put food outside now only water. I knew someone who bought a house in FL that had ferrel cats and the previous owner fed them. He has a stooopid dog and a wife who cant stop talking for more than 10 minutes at a time. The dog kept eating the cat food when they let him out and the cats left. Now they have all kinds of lizards, frogs, snakes, toads, big bugs, birds in their vents, etc all over the place. The cats are down the street at someone else's house hanging out enjoying the new place's chowies now.
My slim Jim stealing side kick was a Maine coon mix. Used to joke he was the world’s smallest Maine coon.
I give ours 1/3 of a thin slice of Spam cut into pieces. It's how we would call him from the barn at dusk. Now I give it to him for breakfast. The Costco Spam is "lower sodium" and is a lot better and less expensive treat than the dry stuff that comes in a bag from pet stores. I bought the Costco cat food recently and litter that comes in the 4 plastic bags the smells a little bit like lavender from Costco as well.
