I doubt anybody remembers but I’ve been having an issue keeping mice out of my project Camaro. I think that problem is either over or soon will be. The question now is, how do I get the snake out of there?

Seriously, I was working on a leaky speedometer cable housing and needed to roll it back to clean up the fluid that was on the floor so my dad (the car lives at my parents’ house do to space limitations) went to get in to put it in to neutral and give a little yelp and yelled, Snake! Sure enough there it was in the driver side footwell. It was a 2ft. garter snake. Not dangerous but can bite so I put some gloves on to grab it. By the time I got them on, though, the snake went under the driver seat and I couldn’t feel it when I put my hand under there. I guess the next time I’m up there I’ll get to go on a snake hunt.

I think that might end up in a “There was an old woman who swallowed a fly” situation. Unless Tom McEwan in available.

Is your garage climate controlled? Heating up or cooling down the area will likely drive it out to regulate it’s body temperature. Maybe just a heat gun in the general area.

I know it’s not funny, but that formulation is hilarious

You just have to catch him. They can’t break your skin but gloves are a good idea because the smell of their musk makes me dry heave. Even after you wash multiple times it’s still there.

Put a heat lamp under the car so it warms the floor. The snake will curl up there.

At this point I have to laugh. The situation is ridiculous.
