Snakes are just as anxious to avoid contact with humans as we are to avoid them.

It would be interesting to shoot down a conduit. Where is the other end of that conduit?

One day I was walking through the store's basement and I noticed black power cord at an unexpected location -- then I noticed that it moved! I ignored it for a few minutes and it disappeared.

There was an abandon restaurant next door and I assume that the snake was cleaning out the mice. Later I found out that a girl upstairs once had a black snake that disappeared. There were various other sightings in the complex. I didn't mind that the snake appeared to have free run of the complex. Prior to its arrival we had a few problems with mice, but these problems suddenly disappeared.
