I’m still baffled by this.
We are (finally!) gutting our 70s wood paneled three-season room.
In the process, amongst the insulation, we found…
A snake skeleton.
Fully intact.
I HATE snakes.
Loathe. Despise. Cry-me-a-river-to-my-Momma fraidy-pants of snakes.
But I also worked in the spine medical device industry for four years, and this thing has got a lot of vertebrae.
Thus I was torn.
Compelled to look, yearning to run away.
So I poked it with my crow bar, took a few photos and then it disappeared into our Shop-Vac.
Followed by the Heebie Jeebies for the next three days.
Weird, huh?
Ahhh Katharine….. This summer we had to tear apart our newly installed cottage bathroom due to a fox snake that decided to get stuck in the wall during construction and then died there. Ewww. Ewwww. Ewwww.
GAHH I heard about that when I told my mom what I found!!! That is so awful!!!
Hey you could sell that snake skeleton at a place in New York called Obscura, they also buy and sell mumified cats if your intrested.
oh my!!
I am in the Hate the Snake Camp with you my friend. The photo gave me the big-time creeps. I had no idea that was the internal structure. Your mom, who went through college with me, will explain how I missed that day in Bio 101 class. Anyway, major freaking me out thing to find in the wall. Crazy weird. I think I’m glad you shared it here. I think. It was interesting. I should not have read it after dark. Images lurk in my mind for way too long.
And then the other commenter had a snake in the wall experience, too. OK. Now I’ll need therapy.
Totally should have kept it!!!
EW. No thank you!
EWWWWWWWWW. eww. I can’t even deal with this right now.
Totally weird . . . . . and yet so fascinating! Can’t look at it and can’t take my eyes off it. What does that mean? HATE snakes but intrigued by skeletons. I agree with everyone – EWWWWWWWWWWWW!
Granny
ahhhhh! I don’t think anything could fascinate me enough to want to be anywhere near that thing…but I am super frightened of snakes, so I am kind of a baby
.
Is that the last resident of the three season room?
