The whole story is as follows as told by my Dad. I am no reporter, so consider this like one of those movies that are based on a true story.
Garage was closed when they came home. Saw a snake in the corner behind some shovels and other stuff. My step Mom approached the snake to "shoo" it away and it "charged" her. The word charged is a direct quote and since I did not see it I can put no context behind it. The snake then quickly slithered away and disappeared, my Dad thinking it went out the garage, my step Mom saying it never did. My Dad to prove his point picked up the seat of the cart and "hello there big fella".
He rolled the cart out of the garage, took seat off and left it. The snake eventually left. I told him it is probably just hiding up in the controller  |
Snakes are pretty conductive, lizards too,...We see it all the time in air-conditioning units,...they get in behind a control board and commit suicide, ....usually end up frying the board too...
