You would have loved the python (or maybe a boa constrictor?) that I found in my yard a few months ago--I was walking up the steps from my lower level patio to the upper level, and he was right next to the stairs (of course I didn't see him until I was on the steps and so close that he would have already bit me if he's been a nasty snake like a rattler) Fortunately I think he was sleeping off a meal so he didn't even notice that I nearly stepped on him. I was going to call animal control to come get him, but they were closed and by the next day he was gone. Found him again a couple weeks later in the front yard trying to hide (not very effectively) in my baccharis, again animal control was closed and I haven't seen him since. Hopefully he found his way back home!
