Meiac,
Not a registered herpetologist, but I really doubt you have snakes "in" your house/woodwork, etc., esp in the summer months. No clue on your layout as to where you discovered it, but my guess is it crawled in chasing/smelling a mouse or critter and you came upon it. They are cold blooded and in your latitude, they really need to sun soak to get their system warmed up...the only chance could be it was a pregnant female. I would just keep an eye out. They are excellent creatures in terms of picking out rodents/critters that you don't need in/around your house and few are really dangerous and most, in your latitude, are not very aggresive unless cornered. I see several species here on the mtn. regularly, but I don't harm any of them. My 25Cts... GL,mD

I think it is rare for snakes to travel in groups. One is probably all there is.
I had a rattlesnake in my garage. I was doing a brake job, bending down of course, with my butt under the workbench for the right-hand side portion. I kept hearing a funny scraping noise and finally paid attention to it only to find that this snake had been inches from my butt for maybe an hour or so. Now we have a couple of semi-tame feral cats. Nice and entertaining and no snakes since.

I got the one out, and I think that was it. the CFO freaked, though so I got to check every square inch. ouch. They like the stone wall that goes off the garage wall since our dog died... Maybe this way we can get another

not the 'burbs of Boston. Snakes are good creatures and really, generally unaggressive toward humans. They are helping to keep the critters down around your joint...not trying to sound like the local PETA/snake huggers rep, but when we live in non-urban areas, we have to get along with the creatures that make that local system "work", imo. The species I've seen here on our Mtn., include eastern black snake, rat snake, hog nose, timber rattler, copperhead, ringneck and water snake. The copperhead & timber rattler I give good room to, though they are really unaggressive unless cornered and/or fully warmed up. Eastern black and water, are aggressive but not toxic in their venom...I'll shut up; glad you got it out and all is well in your Mainiac household!
