Yea but hell the wife is freaked out. I am not too keen on the idea
either. Maybe he will leave on his own after a while.

We have black snakes all over the place, and they’re good non-venomous snakes.
They eat rodents and small animals, so if there’s one up there he must have a
food source. Probably likes the warmth of the attic, too.
I would leave him alone. He’s doing good work.

I am sitting here minding my own business and I hear something moving around in
the attic right above me. It seemed to sound fairly large. I suspected it was
a large mouse or something. I go up into the attic and after a while I hear it
and zero in on the location, but do not see anything. I then spotted the
insulation moving around. It sounds like whatever it was is between the sheet
rock and the paper backing of the insulation. I start poking it with a stick
and move the insulation around to get down to bare sheetrock. By this time it
moved over a little bit. I was able to peel back the insulation where I caught
a glimpse of a big black snake. I could not see a head or really stuck around
long enough to see any markings that I recall. I decided it was time to pack
it up and head out of the attic. I am thinking this snake has been up there
for a while as the kid says he has heard something up there at night. I also
do not see any signs of mice up there either. Being out in the country we get
mice on occasion and I put poison bars up there which knocks them down. The
bars have not been touched so that tells me there are little to no mice up
there currently. I suspect this might be a non poisonous snake that eats mice,
could be the same as the one I found in the shop last year. Should I leave it
up there so it can eat mice, should I get rid of it? How do I go about that.
Do I need to call somebody? Doing battle with a snake in the shop is one thing
where I can move quick. Crawling around in the attic where I can't move around
very fast is a whole different deal.
