Default Earthworms in gutters

Perhaps the birds are using your rain gutters to raise their own worms. Just
a thought..

However, I have found snake skins in my rain gutters. I assume they get
there by crawling up the trees. From the gutters it is possible to enter the
attic through air vents which explains the 3 foot long snake skin found in
the attic during some heating system work last month.

Have you ever heard of a wormhole? supposedly lets you get from point A to
point B without the distance inbetween. Well, who do you think invented
them? :)

I vote for the bird theory

Cleaned out the house gutters, and in the leaves that accumulated, found
night crawlers. How on earth do these worms make it up to the top of
the
house and into the gutters?

They use very tiny climbing harnesses like these:
