We were just getting back from the park when Josh stopped us from proceeding into the garage door leading into house. I was like, oh great our first scorpion. Oh no sir, a freakin' snake. Coiled up right by our garage fridge and door. Josh decided to try and "catch" it with two sticks. I called our bug guy and animal control with zero help, so decided to just yell, "don't catch it, just kill it!" So as Josh is like moving it around with two sticks, it manages to wiggle, no slither it's way into a crack in the wall and nuzzle under the baseboard. Josh still standing with his two sticks and me screaming to get a knife, gun, bomb, whatever to destroy this invader. Josh traps it with the sword/knife thing under the baseboard. Then he had to saw off the section of baseboard. The monster is still alive and is still trying to attack Josh. I am still screaming, "kill it now!" He bashes in the head a few times and we say our goodbyes. Yes that is blood. Josh was so sure it was poisonous blood he bleached the entire floor area. It's grotesque body contracted and contorted forever until we finally sealed up the box and threw it away. I wanted to burn it, but Josh said no. We think it may have been a Gopher Snake, which is harmless, but still way creepy!
Josh doing who knows exactly what with sticks and the snake escaping into the wall...
Finally we attack back with a blade...
What up now snake?
