Snakes on a plane...

...well actually, under my car. I colleague has just chased an Adder under my car. Question is, where has it gone from there? Is it likely to drop on me, while I drive home? :~ OK, it's only about 6 inches long and a baby, but still.

The Adder probably met a Subtractor and now there's nothing left to worry about. :doh: :-D

It's probably in the roof lining making lots of little snakes...
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

While this is a bit malodorous, but mothballs in the front and rear floorboards of the car, and scatter a few under the hood and in the trunk. Snakes despise the smell of mothballs. I live in a swampy area and keep them under my house. Been doing it for years and no more snake problems (several close calls with cottonmouths before that). Give the snake a few hours to vacate and you should be fine.

Did the snake look like this one? Black Adder[^]
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Don't worry about it. My lady's 50lb dog caught a Mohave Green rattlesnake a week or so ago, and took 2 seconds to dispatch it. She got bit, but she's fully recovered. What's a little pit bull got that a programmer hasn't? Other than a penchant for gnawing the fenders off small cars, I mean...
