SNAKES ALIVE!

His job is to keep vermin at bay. It looks like he's helped himself to a blue-feathered friend.

Here you can see the bird in his stomach is making it a bit tricky getting up into the gutter.

I don't think he can get into his usual cubby holes. Hey, we didn't even know he lived here!

So, what sort of snake is he? Besides long and not very hungry at the moment.

Here he was trying to get under a tile without very much success.

My mouse is decidely nervous about our new resident. He wants to sleep in our bedroom tonight.
