Yet another reptilian adventure
In my freaking HOUSE people!!!
Internet, meet the freaky, blind, pink snake that was found swishing its body side to side doing its best, tiny, little Ray Charles impression on my BATHROOM FLOOR.
See its little blind, beady eyes????
It is about 2 inches long.
The National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Reptiles and Amphibians says that they are found in Texas, after a nice spring rain in the evening. The book says NOTHING about how the hell a 2 inch blind snake found its way into my completely enclosed and tiled bathroom on a rainy evening.
Did I mention that the book states it is a baby at that length…….so where, pray tell, the hell are its siblings?????????
The best for last….this from the NASFGNAR mentioned above:
“It defends itself by coiling and writhing about, smearing cloacal fluid over it’s body”.
So there you have it. I have blind snake butt liquid all over my pink tiled floor.
Freaking nasty.
Let me guess: The boys were very excited by your find!
At least the pink matched your bathroom
Oh Lord! I am still hooting over “blind snake butt liquid”….way funny! And ew.
AHHHHHHHHHHH! There would be a “For Sale” sign in the yard, pronto.
I never knew such a snake existed! That is seriously nasty! I hope it was an only child.
Really like your site. Your kids are adorable. I have two daughters. Gotta love little girls.
Holy cow! I’d be parked on top of a counter top until my husband came home. lol
*shiver*
That is very scary, but your post was quite funny. I’ve never seen one of those before. Great pictures and great blog.
I’m not a reptile fan, but that is a pretty snake. But it would be far prettier in the yard, where it belongs! Hope you got that butt juice up quick lol
I would be dead of a heart attack if I found a snake in my house. Dead. Dead. Dead.
Mel, we were so blessed to find another one yesterday morning near the toilet. Bill found it and left it there for the kids to see????? Then it disappeared. Ugh! Last night my son told me that they saw one on the front porch that was a foot long. Someone is having baaaabies! BLek!
In your bathroom? Ack! NO NO NO, that cannot happen. Wait, would you like to borrow a couple of our four cats to keep the snakes away? Oh wait, maybe my evil cats are the only thing keeping snakes out of my bathroom? Ack! Snakes vs Evil Cats? I think I have to keep the cats, darn it.
