Was listening to someone from Algeria who mentioned they often have issues with lizards finding their way in homes. And I was like “at that point it sounds more like a free pet than vermin.”

Also, what do you do when this happens?

    I’m no herpetologist, but Florida scarlet snake was the closest I could find.

      Nor am I. It appears scarlet kingsnakes used to be considered a milk snake, but not anymore.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk_snake

      The scarlet kingsnake page has a pretty good line from “peepshow”:

      “Red next to black, jump the fuck back, red next to yellow, cuddly fellow”,

      Although that’s the opposite of what I’ve always heard. Maybe it was supposed to be wrong?
