If at least one of these doesn't make you laugh I'm not sure we're actually friends.
I found a snake in my house. What do I do? Is there a nest?
Snakes need the same things we do in order to survive. Food, water, and shelter. Often times, people find a snake in their house and they immediately freak out and begin to wonder “is there more? what if there’s a nest?” So, what should you do if you do find a snake in your house?
1. There’s no need to panic. Keep an eye on it, in order to keep track of where it is so that you can catch it.
2. If possible, take a photo and upload it for an ID. This would determine how you could go about catching the snake, or if a more experienced person is needed to help.
If the snake is harmless: You can relocate it. You can either gently grab…
UPDATE!! This sweet boy’s owners were found and he is home safe and sound 😊 thank you everyone for sharing!
‼️ LOST DOG ‼️
This sweet boy was found on Van Buren St. in Herndon, VA. He's with the people that found him until his owners are located. He's around 1-3 years old. Not wearing any collar when found. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Please call us at the clinic.
