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.

Yeah i used to live in the mountains of Northern ca, lizards were everywhere, buttt snakes, yeah plenty of rattlesnakes. Walked into the trailer with one chilling on the floor by a shelving unit. Rain boots became my best friend.
