House guest

My husband sent me a text message while I was at work today asking me what he should do with the snake in our bathroom.  He has a quirky sense of humor so I figured he was joking.  Then he sent me this photo!

Our little house guest was an 8" brown snake.  There are three brown snakes native to Alabama and I couldn't begin to identify the specific species that decided to try indoor living.  I frequently find these little guys in my garden and am always pleased to see them as they consume lots of garden pests.

As much as I like to see them in the garden, this little snake is not welcome in the house.  I scooped him up with a garden trowel and returned him to the gardens where he belonged.  I think I heard him say "thank you."
