Snake in a basement of DP!
I know this may be the first time ever asked!
I was doing some minor maintenance on my DP two days ago, and lo and behold opened the water valve and grey and black tank hookup door.
When I did I saw a small 1 1/2 ft snake slither from under the ledge by the bin. of course by the time I grabbed a pole nearby it decided to go into the basement bin and disappear.
This is a large open area under the coach not a small closed bin. My ladder and hoses as well as sewer hoses and connectors. Opens all the way to passenger side where the basement tv and some other stuff stored ie: fishing rods, tackle box etc....
We took almost everything out and didn't find it, put most back in....hoping maybe it slithered away.
Went out today to flush the fresh water tank out and at first didn't see any sign of a snake...but after about a 1/2 hour I was closing the freshwater drain valve and I saw something out of the corner of my eye....
.the snake in the corner of the bin looking right at me...believe me, I was close enough to tell.
I again grabbed the handle I had there and slowly put the end under it, so far so good, got it halfway out and he or she pushed off the handle and back he went, right into the bin again.
Now the bin is cleaned out...one side open for the night...hope it leaves on its own.....or see it in the am by the edge again....
pretty sure its a rat snake...looked it up online and that what it looks like.....non venomous but guess could still bite me....I hate any snake....even one this small....
Any ideas out there...????
