I am so freaked out right now! I opened my silverwear drawer for a fork and there was a SNAKE drapped across the entire drawer! I screamed like a banshee and ran after my husband. Thank goodness it was a small one, but OMG! It's about 2 1/2 feet long, or so. We aren't sure what kind it is. My dad is coming over to see if he knows. All I know is that I am seriously buying out all of Walmart's moth balls and steel wool because I don't want his mamma coming in!!

Sounds like you are not afraid of snakes either..they don't scare me,
neither do mice. spiders, bugs , wasps...now they can make me RUN ! lol

Believe it or not, the only critter I'm terrified of is crayfish. I have no idea why. I have a pet snake, I've had hermit crabs as pets in the past, and hamsters. I've handled bats, scorpions, beetles and spiders with no problems. I love bees and dream of being a beekeeper someday. But, wow, I totally run away screaming from crayfish. Thank goodness they don't fly.

I cannot imagine, and would be Freaking for sure. I just would never want to see this either, and Glad you husband was there, and someone is going to help you as well. Wishing you the Best.

That would have be a very scary experience! Do you normally have snakes around where you live, like in the woods or garden? I don't know what I would do if I were to see something like that. And honestly, 2 1/2 feet does not sound very small to me, especially to be in your drawer. Is the snake still there or has it been removed?

I just checked where you're from, just to make sure it won't be coming to my silverware drawer anytime soon. If it were me, I would probably pass out. I hate those reptile things. I know they probably don't bite but eck! No thanks.

Hi Lisado,
wonder what kind it is,hopefully not poison !
I am not afraid of snakes or mice, but
it still would have made me jump because
even if it's a bug you find ..it is unexpected.
Thank God it did not bite you.
Maybe it's just a garden snake?
Blessings

Well, at least it wasn't in your panty drawer - I mean your pantry... ?
That would really freak me out - especially since there are snakes in my neighborhood and I think the chances are above average.
I wasn't aware that moth balls worked to fend off snakes, and the steel wool? Hmmmm. I'll need to research this.
Go Navy!
