Snake showed up again, this time in back yard. My housemate wanted to
catch it but I was worried about liability in case...

This time Animal Control came promptly and caged it. Officer told me
it was an Albino Corn Snake.


Well, I hope they don't kill it. They're too pretty and besides,
they're valuable - a nice healthy albino (amelanistic) corn snake can
fetch as much as $150.

On another note, please don't kill snakes out of turn. They don't do
any harm to you, and keep rodents in check.
