When it rains in Florida and doesn't stop life gets weird. About every 7 years it rains everyday for months and months. Where I live like 2 blocks from a canal and some rockpits it gets flooded and the dirt roads get dangerous near the canal. There are alligators that leave and wander all over even getting in peoples yards
And snakes come in my house via doggy door! Now the last time i had a snake inside he was a black snake and was curled around the toilet seat. I was younger then and faster

I caught the snake and relocated it...
Well to the present day. I have spotted a 2 foot snake and twice tried to get it but sadly i am slow and klutzy. Snakes make me nervous and hope this one will leave or i can catch it. It is a garter snake so it is as scared of me as i am of it.
My dogs used to chase and kill any trespasser snakes/critters, all except Ginger and she is the only dog left. At 16 years old she is slowing down also.
So far this year a baby possum got in and skinks/lizards are living on my porch. smh
Hope no gators come by to say hi
