Eastern Snakes Forum
[ Reply | Eastern Snakes Forum ]
To ask a question about a snake, don't reply to this post, go to the forum home page and start a new post. Your question will get a lot more exposure. Please give us an idea of where you live, as reptiles can often be identified only by locality!
Please do not place messages about killing a snake, and asking what kind it is you have killed! That is like going onto a message board about dogs and telling about torturing one to death, and asking what kind of breed it was. You will likely get "flamed", and likely by the forum owner, depending on his mood that day.
A note about head shape in snakes: Head shape is a totally useless character for identifying a snake, and has nothing to do with whether the serpent is or is not venomous (poisonous). Many harmless snakes, especially when young, have rather large heads. Please describe color, pattern, markings, and habitat where the snake was found. The shape of the head will not help us in any way.
Thank you.
Something is eating mice in my basement

I have recently had a problem with mice in my house in the Laurel Highlands of PA. I set several mouse traps. Two of them were set in the utility room which houses the furnace. When I came back to check on these traps a couple of days later, there were patrial mice on them (mainly the head). I believe that something is eating the mice. I hope it isn't a racoon or some other large mammal, but rather a snake. The house is only a year old. Could it be a snake and if so, how can I tell?
