Default It's that time of the year. . .

This little guy was watching me while I was inspecting the service panel. After a minute or so, he just slithered away. . .

That is one of the 4 kinds of snakes I am afraid of:
1. Big ones
2. Little ones
3. Live ones
4. Dead ones

That looks like the rare, but deadly Rattle-Headed-Copper-Moccosin.

I wonder if we could get CE's for attending a snake charmer school for Home Inspectors and I'm not talking about the local real estate office

I remember the 1st time I ran into a snake skin in a crawlspace. I got very still and very scared. Malture rattlers will alway warn you that you're getting too close. Baby rattlers don't rattle because they don't have them yet. I ended that crawlspace inspection right then and there.
