A girlfriend with experience emailed this in response to the previous blog:
I would say your visitor would have been a carpet snake. They tend to travel at night. If it was fairly large in size they may get to the chooks or possibly even Gomez as they dislocate their jaw, but unlikely. More likely after the eggs and mice etc as Michael said. He may be back if he has made residence close by. If you catch him, he has to be relocated at least 10 km away or else he will be back, but the best snake is one that has multiplied into many pieces (with the axe or my preference is if the snake eats some metal in the form of a bullet).
I totally agree with you, E! Unfortunately I'm a bit wary about letting Michael get a shotgun, I don't think I could cope with the blood when he shoots three fingers off, or a toe. Or gets pissed off with the dogs once too often.
Snakey hasn't been back (or hasn't been sighted, and I've kept a close eye on the pen). Neither have any of the dogs gone beserk. Lots hope we scared him/her off for good!

If you do find Snakey again, can you please ask him/her to come and catch a mouse?
Ta :)
I'll just lend you Gomez or Morticia - either of them will do the job just as well, and be a bit less scary.
Sounds good, but Owen might not let you have either of them back!!!
