A snake in the what?

Sometimes snakes are just not satisfied with grass.  Let’s face it - the front lawn does not offer as many amenities as a hotel bed.

So when a Hampton Inn resident “felt something moving on her arm one morning,” she figured it was her husband.  Just one problem:  Said husband was back at home, miles away from the scene.

Her snuggly bed companion turned out to be a garden snake.  Although relatively harmless, it was not hotel vetted.  The guest wound up calling the front desk, who in turn called pest control.

One woman’s pest is another gardener’s blessing.  Might it have been wiser to escort this snake back to a fertile patch of land?
