My wife still worries about it she really scard of them I had to leave work last summer to get a garden snake out of drive way so she could get out of the car and go in the house it was 15 miles one way I lost a days work
If she is that scared, I'd get her something she can carry like a .22 snakeshot. I imagine if you home carry, she at least knows how to use'em.
The worst I had was a scorpion falling out of one of my shirts that was hangin in my closet, and a huge brown recluse that wandered into my kitchen/breakfast nook where my computer desk was. Good thing that was 10 years ago, and in a different house.
Glad to know your alright.
I hope she returned the favor
