It only took a week...

Well I guess I should count myself as lucky that it wasn't me that had to take the snake outside. I had asked him everyday. EVERYDAY!! To take it outside and either kill it or take it far far FAR away from our property.
One whole week.
So finally he runs out of clean underwear and decides he had better do something about the stupid snake.
Austin goes to the basement and takes the box off the glass bowl and the bowl off the snake and it just stays there all coiled. That is when Austin puts on his leather gloves and goes to grab it and it strikes.
At this point I would have shat my pants had it been me grabbing for it but not my husband. He gets this evil grin and I swear I hear him laugh. He denies it but anyways. He starts to play with it.
Playing with it in my basement. I just have this vision of this snake getting away from him while playing with it so I yell down the stairs, "For crying out loud, take it outside. Then you can play with it, you damned idiot! I swear you lose that snake and you will be sleeping in that basement till you find it!"
That might be when he got annoyed with me. I would have thought that would have happened on day two of me asking him to get it out of my house. But anyways. So he grabs the snake and starts to chase me through the kitchen. I could have killed him.
He finally gets it outside and takes it to the side yard grabbing a spade on the way. He looks around for the perfect spot puts the snake on the grass and grabs its head and shoves the shovel on it. Stands on the shovel taking the head off clean.
At this point he just has a hold of the body by the tail so he flings it at me. As you can imagine that instantly sets me off.
It took him 30 minutes to find the hide-a-key to get back in the house. I don't know why he has to be such a butt to me.
We have found where they are getting in but there isn't much we can do about it. They are getting in a drain. I have told asked my husband to put a wire mesh in the drain in hopes of stopping them from coming up. Hopefully he will have it done by winter.
It's okay, I am laughing too. Mine though is more of a psycho humor me laugh, but still laughing.
