My fiancee and I did some gardening today. She just went outside to look at the plants again and saw a snake climbing up under our vinyl siding. I saw the tail end of it before it got up under the siding. She wanted me to cut it in half before it got away, but I didn't want to murder the thing if it was harmless as it might be good to keep rodents away.
Looked it up on the internet and it is a speckled kingsnake. Common to the area, nonvenomous, sometimes kept as pets. I think it couldn't have been more than 2 feet long at the maximum.
My question is this - is there a problem with the siding if a snake can get up under it? I don't know what it is like under that siding, but I hope he can't get up in the walls, can he? Is there any problems with snakes in the walls that I should be concerned with, or should I leave him be?
