You could be inviting snakes

Neglecting this chore could be an invitation to snakes.
I don't know how it got into the house, nor why. But one day we discovered a corn snake in our sons' bedroom closet. It was a treat for them to be photographed with it over their shoulders. It was not appealing to my wife. After the photo shoot, we released it outdoors.
It reminded me of a similar experience of mine when I was a small child. My dad found a snake in the house. It wasn't so lucky; it perished beneath a shoe brush.
There could be several reasons that a serpent might enter a home, aside from being welcomed as a pet. They might wander in through open doorways while hunting mice, or just for the sake of curiosity.
