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
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.
