I will suggest that to "the man of the house". He said just call him and he will take care of it (he just leaves the huge spiders for me) HA HA. The snakes are not long at all, maybe 7 or 8 inches long and maybe bout as round as a pen/pencil (not real big). I had no idea about the poster that said even if you cut off a snakes head (poisonous) it could still bite you. Eeeks! Now that's scary.
