what a week this day has been. 😩

woke up at 10 ready to relax, shower and make brunch and play some gw2. insteaaaaadddd i spent hours moving heavy stuff in the basement to catch & release 2 fox snakes (the ones with the lil orange heads) that somehow made their way inside 🐍🐍

#the h files #the were small-ish and are nonvenomous so i put on gloves and with another persons help was able to put them in buckets and relocate them #v proud of myself for being able to do that and keeping them safe #as i was holding them i looked at their little :3 faces theyre so cute sob #in MY ENTIRE LIFE weve had maybe one or two garter snakes in the basement and now 2 in one day????? i need a drink or several tbh #i was far more worried theyd get trapped somewhere in the basement than of the sneks themselves #the cats were locked away upstairs so no worries there thank goodness #also v impressed at how STRONG they were despite being only 2-3' long and about as thick as a sausage #and theyre constrictors so one was curling around my wrist before i put them in the bucket what a wild experience #and i forgot their tail “rattles” which spooked me lmao but they were v polite and never even tried to strike at me
