We've had snakes in every house. The worst was the first rental when we got

married - Paxinos, PA. The landlady arranged for us to get the oil tanks in the basement filled up for Winter. The man knocked on the door and told me he couldn't do it and asked if I had been down there yet. Well, the basement where the oil tanks were must have had 300 snakeskins hanging from the rafters. It had to be the place to go to molt. I stood guard in case there were any live ones so he would fill the tanks. I wasn't as afraid of the snakes as I was the ghost later on.
