This is our vacation home so we keep no food or much of anything in the garage.
We get 6-10 snakes a year stuck on the sticky pads. Sometimes even a mouse. They are almost always dead because we come up once a month or so. but we have had to kill one that followed us into the garage when we pulled in the car. We swept him out but he kept coming back in, so we had to do what we had to do. Seems to happen more in the colder months.
They also shed there skins behind the power box and cable wires on the side of the house. We live in a neighborhood of about 200 homes in the center of the plantations. Not as rural as you would expect.
The fact that they may or may not be the "good snakes" means nothing to me, a snake is a snake. They are usually between 2-3 feet long and as thin as your thumb, sometimes thinner, but to tell you the truth, I don't look, I will get anyone walking by to take the sticky pad and put it into the trash for me. I just can't seem to do it myself.
We have our main home in south florida and live on the water and have seen 2 snakes in the past 17 years. Thats the only downfall I have to moving to central florida, beside the heat.
