I found this lovely little number just outside my back door a week ago - it's 9.5ft long which is almost the length of my car! And then had another tree snake in the garden a few days ago as well, they sure are around especially with the heat at the moment!
Just be super careful incase it's a poisonous one and give it plenty of time and space to move on before you go back to the mail box!

Hi Liz,
No big strong man around to do the dirty work and put his life at risk to save the damsel?
What's this world coming to? Thou hath no champion in thine village to conquer such beastly monsters?
Cheers
Chris

Even my neighbour denies my pleas for help when it involves snakes !!

I would have come to your rescue Liz. 
I don't mind snakes or spiders.
So long as you rescue me from caterpillars. ewww, I freak out entirely if I see one of them.

Frogs in letterbox = noodlebox for snake.
Its a wonder the snake hung around so long after its meal.
Snakes are experts at catching frogs even when the frogs arent cornered.

Nooooooo!!!!! 
I'm deadly allergic to the hairy ones, and I have a totally irrational fear of every other caterpillar in existence. Ugh, and to think I used to keep silk worms when I was little.
