Has anyone else ever found a live snake in a stall? I was horrified!! My horses were not in their stalls at the time. As I approached the stall, I saw it laying there big as life and no one around to help me. There would have been a time that I would have gone running in the house and hid under the bed. But I had to get it out of the stall. I am still amazed that I actually did this. I tried to pull it out with my manure fork but all it did was go further into the stall. And then it turned and presented itself at me. I thought okay fellow, this is war. I then went for the shovel. It took several attempts but he now is in snake heaven. I'm sorry to anyone this may offend but I DO NOT like snakes. Although I did try to get him to leave and he didn't. Now I must admit he was no boa constricter or anything like that, just your average garden snake about 2 feet long and as round as your thumb, but to me a snake is a snake! And I truly felt awful when I killed him. Although it was my horse Onyx's stall that he was in, and I know Onyx would have done him in with no trouble. Onyx once killed a baby groundhog that was unfortunate enough to be in the pasture at the same time he was. I have seen snakes around before but never in the barn or in one of the stalls and I sure hope I never do again!
