I found this devilish little fellow in our garage. As I reached into a bucket to grab the trash out, the trash moved. Not a good sign. I went to get the shovel to take care of it, Sam followed me begging me to let it live. So after a lengthy internet search and concluding that it was not poisonous, I had a weak moment and let the thing live.
What comes next...Sam and Cary keep saying how pretty he is and look he is so nice, can we please pick him up. (I thought maybe he would bite them and this would be a good little lesson, not to pick up snakes.) Plan failed miserably....now I still have snake crawling around my yard and 2 kids that really think they are great.
