The couple we went out with last night, a couple years ago there was a gila monster in their garage, their daughter walked right past it not seeing it at first and then freaked out. I don't remember how they got it out of their garage! Oh, and we had a corn snake in our backyard a few years back. Hubby wouldn't let me pick it up. haha he didn't believe me that it wasn't poisonous and that I knew how to handle snakes. (one more example of how he thinks I'm stupid meh) he made me lift it with a stick and put it over the wall.
