Well, as I was leaving the office yesterday, I discovered I had another visitor IN the office. About 5 minutes later, I found a second one that was about 3 feet long.--So in 2 or 3 weeks, I've had 3 rattlers IN the office.

Hello


A closer look


Let's go outside


Little dude


For size perspective (standard cheapo Walmart Buck "Trapper"


Different angle



And NO, none of the three snakes are dead.

by any chance...does your office hhave a rat problem?????? What keeps bringing these animals inside???????? Scary as hell to think you might sit down at your desk and get bit......imho!

Lucky Bastage, I never find snakes. I had a few pet rattlers while in school, they are sweet critters.

Actually, no, we really don't have much of a rat/mice problem.

Although, several months ago we had mouse nest in the copier. But my resident rat snake took care of that

Our scorpions are more annoying than the snakes.

--Part of the problem is the building isn't sealed worth a darn.

Where are you?

Prefer not to say. Would make it way too easy to figure out who I am. I will say my office "building" is literally a converted bathroom.

cool.

well hope you don't find one biting your leg.

Sweet job. Where can I enlist?!

The State of Texas Providing only the finest facilities. Actually, I love my office. Just occasionally has it's little oddities.

urus.

Do you know Kevin H.?

Just put up a sign and charge admission to the snake exhibit.

Yes, I know a Kevin H.

-And no, I don't carry a fancy knife. If it costs more than ~$20 at Walmart, it ain't in my pocket.

you could probably spend about $20 at walmart* and seal that place up decently to keep the snakes out.

do you know Kevin I.?

Crocker, it's only been an issue recently. Folks higher than me know of the issue. I've had periodic rat snakes come through regular enough it doesn't surprise. Previously, we found 2 rattlesnakes around the building in 5 years.---Honestly, it's not something that gets me overly excited. I've worked around rattlesnakes quite a bit in the past.

jt2hunt----that's not anyone I am familiar with

Is Kevin J. the next question?

I was wandering about that, but figured I'd go with it.
