After finding that snake on the ferret play room I waited quite some time before I let the beasts loose out there. That snake sure did put some trauma into my normally subtle boring day. I searched every square inch of that room taking every thing down and then apart to be sure there were not more snakes before I brought Pester and Peekaboo out there to play. For sure they knew 'someone' had been there ! Peekaboo instantly went to where I had dispatched the snake and explored that small area very closely. Pester went right to where the snake crawled into the wood pile and checked that out very intensely. It goes without saying absolutely NOTHING escapes a ferret's curiosity! And time passage is no obstacle in that venture! The snake is one of God's creatures, it has a right to exist (for some reason yet unknown to me). Yet no snake has any right to share my domicile never mind my fuzzbutts !!! Done deal. Gordon, Pester and Peekaboo Rev.
