Snakes in a Shop

Lee is in the shop almost every day. So is RJ, the dog.  Recently he went in the shop and reached for the push broom. This is what he found.

  

It was kind of disconcerting.  It meant that a black snake about 5 feet long was in there at some point and used the bristles on the broom to shed his itchy skin.  Snakes about to shed can get grouchy, so he is maybe in a better mood now.

  

But I would be cautious about blindly reaching my hand into a bin.  Or maybe I will stay inside the house and be cautious that way.
