Hi Folks,

I just finished trapping and taking outside into the woods a small, juvenile? Copperhead snake from INSIDE MY HOUSE!!!

I had fallen asleep on the couch and when I awoke, I saw 2 of my cats stalking it as it slithered across my hardwood floor!!!   I was TERRIFIED!!!

I got my cats away from it and it went behind my door and curled up.  I got a box and able to get it inside and then quickly and quite frankly, terrified, ran outside with it.

I then came back inside and checked to make sure all my cats were fine without any bites.

My concern:  COULD THERE BE MORE INSIDE????   This is the very first snake I’ve seen inside my house in 15 years.  How do I make sure this doesn’t happen again???   I’m so worried and I have a feeling I’m going to be jumping at shadows for quite sometime!!!!

Thanks,
Tammy

  1. Great work. very few cats have ever survived a copperheads bite. The cats have no clue how dangerous they truly are.

    I had the same thing happen to me and fortunately I got to my cat before the got nailed.
