Hi

Last night I found a Bull snake in my H3 and was wondering if there is an opening under the dash, or elsewhere, for a snake to get in? I live in the country and would hate to discover another one while I am driving.

Thanks
Michal

 

it probably got in when you left a door open a month or 2 ago

!!!!!!!!!!

sleep well!!

he might have crawled up the tail pipe

 

Are you serious about the tail pipe? And I have never left my doors or windows open. The only way in I can see is through the air vents.

 

This has to be one of the most unique posts I've seen in a while.



Thank goodness it wasn't a Copperhead or something worse.


No clue in how he slithered in.

 

I second that!!! RATHER COMICAL!!! Glad you weren't attacked! You should't took a pic & posted it!!!!

 

It was terribly funny after it happenend and they call me "snake handler" at work now, but at the time I nearly had to go home to change my underwear I got such a fright. I had opened the driver's door, jumped into the seat and as I was about to close the door I saw the snake sitting right on the inside door handle! Had I not looked I would have grabbed it. Somehow I lept over the gear shift and flew out of the passenger door to get one of the staff and mobile male patients (I work in a drug and alcohol rehab) to come and get it out. It was only a young Bull Snake, but in the dim lights I could not tell what kind of snake it was and that is what gave me the shock. Now I check the front and back through the windows before getting in as I shudder to think how I would have reacted if the snake had made it's debut while I was driving.

Where I live I often had Bull Snakes in the house (until I got cats). I have had two at once in the kitchen, one poke it's head out of the bottom of the bathroom cabinet when I was sitting on the throne, and one in my purse (I felt the weight and movement before going off to town with a snake in my bag), but a snake in my Hummer takes the cake. And I also believe it was B ull snake as the venemous snakes are not long enough to be able to get into high spces, hence only having Bull snakes in the house too. I don't kill them as they are good for keeping the field mice under control.

Anyway, my H3 is due for a service soon so I will ask the mechanic where he thinks he could have got in.

Thanks for your empathy

Jesus - where in Texas are you? Hopefully not near Austin...

 

I live near Stephenville out in a rural area with lots of snakes. I habe had two in the kitchen at once, one with a mice sticy rap stuck to hit's head, one poking it's out of from unter the cabinet under the sink while I was sitting on the toilet (the right venue for not having to change my underwear),a one one in mty purse (althought I felt the weight and movement before going out shoppin witih it). But a snake in my vehicle took the cake;and sitting right on the inside door handle!. I would have taken a pic except that we were all pannicking and could not see what kind of snake i was in the dim lights. I pray another doesn't appear while I am driving as I would be hysterical and driving recklesly.

Yjanks for your response
