I found 1/3 of a garter snake on my front step, it was missing the head and the tail. Apparently one of the neighbors' cats brought me a hostess gift.
I'm not a squeamish person, but I popped the garage door, and used that to go in and out instead of the front door. Usually I'm the one who takes care of dead birds, rodents, and insects or arachnids, inside or outside, but this was just gross.
When I told DH that it was his turn to dispose of the dismembered portion of snake, he didn't believe me. Lo and behold, when we went out the front door for our walk, the snake chunk was gone! Thinking one of our many omnivorous groundsquirrels might have gotten a nice meal.
Next time you hit the thrift shops pick up an extra one to hang in the garage. If you are prepared it will never happen again!
