I must admit that I would have a hard time killing a snake. I pretty much respect any creature's right to live (unless it's a mozzie) and only kill something if it poses a direct risk to me or my family. At this stage I would much prefer my visitor to just move along on its way and have a long and fruitful life.
I just reviewed today's security footage from the camera that looks at the shed. A full day's footage played back at 8x showed.....nothing. Not a sausage. That's a good start anyway. I'll do the same again tomorrow just to see if there's any activity at all, and plonk in a few moth balls on the weekend to stink any snakes out who might still be hanging around inside the shed. Additionally, I'll be reviewing the whole area around the shed and removing anything that would be attractive for these guys to take up residence in.
What a great lot of advice you have all offered. I was bragging to my brother-in-law today that I just asked my new friends at IIS for advice and received so much good information in so little time. Thank you all.
