Black Snake Outside my Door...?

Question

I live in an apt. complex and there was just a gigantious black snake outside of our door and I was wondering if it could smell my little hamsters inside? Help me!!!

Answer 1

MAYBE, BUT I'M NOT SURE. WHAT DOES THE SNAKE LOOK LIKE? IT MAY BE POISONOUS.

Answer 2

Just get a broom and sweep it away from your complex. No worries.

Answer 3

Lovie is the only one with a good answer so far. Although snakes have excellent senses of smell, they can't smell through walls. And you fail to say where you live, but if you're anywhere in the eastern half of the U.S., it's most likely a harmless black rat snake. With any snake, leave it alone and it will leave you alone.

Answer 4

feed the hamsters and pick the snake up and that will be your new pet

Answer 5

I would kill it.  Snakes are evil.

Answer 6

It most likely is a black rat snake. Nothing to dangerous. They are harmless. If it looks like the picture below then it's not dangerous. Just shut your doors and windows if you're really worry. It should be gone soon since it's getting late. And no it isn't going to go after your hamsters. So you and your hamsters are fine. =] Just won't worry to much about it.

Answer 7

Kwl! How big does it look? And I think it might be able to. But if you keep the windows and door shut you should be safe.

Answer 8

call animal control and have them come pick it up
