They do not eat much and they keep the mice away.

I have a friend who has these bugs that look like miniature lobsters running around his house. He tells me they are there on purpose to keep all the other bugs away.

I understand that in some places people encourage lizards to live in their homes for the same reason.

I, meanwhile, have bats in my attic.  And I mean that literally, thank you very much.  ;)  Every once in a while one will make its way into my apartment by mistake, and I have to catch it and take it outside.  Last time this happened I found it hanging on my shower curtain.  Fortunately I found it before I went to take a shower.  If I hadn't it would have been a rude surprise to both of us, I'm sure.  :laugh:

I lived very near a rain forest for many years and snakes were a daily occurence. Most were none venemous like boas and king snakes. However never assume a snake is safe to handle. Most snakes are beneficial. They eat rodents and annoying things like slugs in the garden. The basic rule is to never trust an animal without any armpits.

Lol.  I love that description.  It reminds me of my granddad, who used to refer to snakes as "Ol' no-shoulders".

Well could have been worse, one of those Trouser Snakes.  I saw one recently and almost threw up.  I finally realized it was just the reflection of something in the mirror that caught my eye.

That poor snake, all of the screaming was probably pretty upsetting.

The closest we ever had to a snake in our home was a parakeet with a real bad attitude. It would attack the other parakeet and keep it away from the food. We called the attacker Quetzlcoatl: the Plumed Serpent.

Here in Mississippi we call them Chicken snakes and they are not poisonous. We have them in our yards all the time.

Reminds me of a younger (but not a baby) rat snake. If so they are pretty friendly once they are used to you.

It looks like a gray rat snake, and their range extends that far north.
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...

This is by no means boasting. More regreting. :laugh:

We have the most poisinous snakes, spiders, jelly fish, octopus and conch shells.
At my last house we would regularly have brown snakes getting in the house, venom; fatal if not given anti-venom. Red back spiders, lethal to kids. Major pain to a fit adult. Funnel webs, fatal to kids if no anti-venom given. A very painful and sick time for an adult. 

We just check all the time. And never sit on the Dunny without checking it :laugh: :laugh:
