Snakes

- Snake in the basement? Snakes enter garages, basements and even attics in search for food such as mice, bugs and even bats, or to look for a safe haven. They regulate their body heat by laying on warm surfaces to raise, or by hiding in the shade, to lower, their body temp. There are 14 varieties of snakes in CT, only two of which are venomous (Timber Rattle Snake and Copperhead), the rest are harmless garden snakes. All are good for the environment, eating bugs and small rodents. For more info on snakes of CT, read the book
