What Meg found

Apparently, a rubber boa

Meg and some of her friends stayed at the cabin one night recently.  I was happy to have them there:  The toilets would get flushed, water would be run in pipes, and the mice would be reminded that they do not own the house. I wasn't prepared, then, for the news that they found a snake, basking downstairs, in the middle of the basement's carpet.  Oh ick!  The good news is that snakes like this don't bite humans and they eat mice.  The bad thing is I think it explains the smell that comes from one of the walls.  Snake poop.  Ick!!!
