There's a snake on my roof

[drinkswineoutofamug]

Exactly that. Sat in my garden in Bulgaria, look up and there's a huge snake sat in the shade on my roof 🐍
I've googled it and it's a European rat snake. My OH is running round the house arming himself with kitchen knives and a yard brush. 🙄 Aibu to sit back and let it do its thing or should I burn the house down now and get the next flight back to England?

I would be more worried about the rats, assuming a rat snake does what it says on the tin......

I read the title to this in the voice of Woody from Toy Story.

Ha ha I read the post as

"sat in my garden in Belgravia" lol.

I’d love a rat snake, I’d put it to service on next doors rat infested hen run , as long as it left the chooks alone !

I misread this as "there's a snake on my foof"

Trouser snake?

I had Canadian friends (never seen snakes before)

That's odd as there are 35 types of snakes in Canada, including 4 venomous ones (rattlesnakes).

Do you like Bulgaria? I was considering buying a house there at one stage

Can't help reading the thread title in the voice of Woody from Toy Story

Let it do it's thing. He probably wants to know why there are humans near his bed!

aww cute - pics !

It’s keeoing vermin down and doing you no harm id leave it (but be checking my bed before I flop into it so I didn’t squash it)

Same reason I leave spiders be- they keep flies to a minimum and I don’t mind them

I have a snake in my.living room.. no big thing.. neither is the snake tbf. :)

I used to keep snakes, they're beautiful. Leave it alone, it will just go when it cools down a little bit.

It's just warming up so it can get going for the day.
It's non- venomous, so won't do you any harm. Unless you have rodents in the house it'll be off hunting elsewhere soon enough.

Same!

Snake on the roof. Sounds normal to me.

Waves Hi from Australia

When I lived in Singapore and lived in a maisonette with a ground floor. I had the shock of my life one afternoon when a cobra was at the entrance of the (gated) kitchen door, trying to come inside......I ran out of the other entrance door to the guardhouse where the guys laughed at me and got a pole to move it to a nearby drain. They then put a line of sulphur powder across the kitchen entrance as snakes apparently hate the smell of sulphur.

A friend of mine lives in one of the beautiful black and white colonial houses (lots of tropical greenery) and she regularly found pythons in the garden. She gave up on keeping cats as the snakes would get them :(

And another friend used to have a 5 foot long water monitor lizard having a daily dip in her swimming pool!

singlenotsingle been here 9 years. Love it. Cheap houses if you don't mind the toilet being a hole in the garden. We finally have an inside bathroom and full kitchen. Speak the local lingo . Sat round the side of the house in the shade.
We opted for somewhere away from the tourist areas. We have jackals at night and in the forest behind us wild boar.
The snake has totally disappeared. Either headed off to the barns or hidden under the roof tiles

Awww. He's just chillin out in the sun. Leave him.while he's happy
Any chance of a picture.

Oh nooooo I'd be having absolute heart failure's. Oh gawd no I can't even think about it....

Baby spider he's gone so no picture. Maybe next time

Awwww the little cutie. What colour was he.

Yellow belly. And yellow black/brown stripes? Couldn't see all of it. He was poking he head out checking us out

I have 4 in my hose, 1 is pregnant :P
does the snake look well fed? i'f i found a random snake i'd be offering it a bowl of water and thawing out one of the mice/rats in my freezer to give it some dinner :P

House, not hose.

Same here TopBitch and Bloo

Too much Disney
