Surprise When Opening Hood
Went to change the glow plugs on my little commuter car and found this when I raised the hood.
She slank down into the engine compartment and I started the car and let it run for a while. Looked around and couldn't see her so I started working on the car. Almost got done and she pops her head out and strikes at my gloved hand. I waited until I had a clean shot and got her with my little Gamo pellet gun.
Not thick but somewhat long. Just a rat snake.
Stay alert.

Re: Surprise When Opening Hood
Are rat snakes poisonous?
I am not a lawyer, nor have I played one on TV, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, nor should anything I say be taken as legal advice. If it is important that any information be accurate, do not use me as the only source.

Re: Surprise When Opening Hood
Check this article out. Interesting that 100% of the calls that the wildlife expert received were actually not the poisonous snake reported. I would probably be that person calling. It is hard to tell the difference in Texas snakes sometimes. Especially in the water. Glad it worked out ok for ya

So you went to change the plugs and ended up servicing the coil
