Because I'm thinking your friend told him where a great place to catch mice was, knowing Alice had a good chance of ending up back in the bathroom where you would find him. I think you owe that ratsnake a big thank you.

Gale
YES!

In fact, the rat snake kept pointedly going back and forth from there to me and finally wrapped around my feet.

Then he slithered away alongside the tub where the other unknown hole is.

For all I know, that's how Alice was navigating the subfloor area...using those two connected holes.

Now, how do I reward that rat snake?

(hillbillies call them "Pilot snakes" because they are supposed to lead rattlers and coppers to winter dens, where they all snuggle up til spring)

Weird.

That rat snake has a forever home here, for sure...
