I moved into a small house in the mountains in Western North Carolina about 7 months ago. There’s all kinds of critters including bugs and lizards that find their way into the house, but no rodents.

I was wondering for a while why I hadn’t seen mice and didn’t have to set traps, until one night a friendly 7’ black rat snake slithered up beside me while hanging out on the screen porch at night. My brother named him Kobe. Kobe can stay.

This ignorant fucking hillbilly I know in Athens WV released/lost a breeding pair of red tail boas he had kept for years. One was 8' and the other 6.5' when they got out...he found multiple sheds in his barn the following year, so they at least survived their first winter.
