Actually, he was just crawling down the stairs…
We were sitting down to dinner last night when two of the kids screamed and ran like mad into the kitchen. “What’s up?” we asked. “Snake on the stairs!” they replied.
So we ran to the stairs that lead down to the basement and sure enough, there was a snake crawling down the stairs back toward the garage. We, of course, didn’t know what kind of snake it was, so Kathy put a call into her friend and teaching compatriot Mark Wick (look about halfway down the page to see Mark) to find out what kind of snake it was. Kathy took a picture with her phone and Mark was kind enough to call back and tell us that our visitor was a Milk Snake.
After we set him free we figured out how he got into the house… by watching him get into the house again. He had found a little hole between the garage door and the house. Probably gonna have to fix that before too long.
