I recently had a snake sneak in my garage. I had the big garage door open and it came right in. Luckily I saw it quick enough 2 grab a stick and push it out the door. 1st time I've had a snake in the garage. I think it was a bull snake; a large 1. I hate snakes. Now I'm hesitant 2 leave the garage door open very long. Got any ideas on deterring such an encounter in the future. That or maybe a good method for trapping snakes?

Do snakes move at night? Do they spend much of their time in a single underground hole? Sorta depends on temperature. In these parts, they're far more active at night in spring/summer, but into fall, they're more active during the day. High daytime temps and even higher ground/soil/pavement temps keep them holed up or under the shade of shrubs until it's cool enough for them to come on out to hunt. They'll take shelter wherever they can find it. Some species will travel back to where they were born (especially rattlesnakes) to hibernate over the cold winter months.

Copperheads are especially noted for night time movement and feeding activity when some of their preferred prey is most active. I caution folks to never wander around barefoot in the dark for this reason.
