On the topic of unusual critters that show up in my house, I found this teeny little rough earth snake chilling out on my bedroom rug. Despite the fact that I was just posting about the giant water snake on my back doorstep this is actually pretty unusual for me. For the most part, I can’t even manage to find these guys under logs and in leaf litter where they’re supposed to be.
As far as I can tell the timeline went something like this:
6pm: I share a comic on Facebook with the comment, “Herpetology, I miss you.”
10pm: Herpetology misses me back.

Beautiful find!
