Look for any opening in breaker boxes as they are likely to house something we do not want to come in contact with. The pictures show what one of our lineman came across the other day while checking a meter. The critter had climbed up through the knockout hole and was after a mouse. Needless to say, neither he or the mouse made it. That's a mouse in his mouth in the last photo. This snake forever to be known as "Ol' Sparky".
By the way, this is a rat snake, not a rattlesnake. Rattlesnakes on rare occasions climb trees (or telephone poles) but they can climb especially in rocky areas. Next time you check to see why a circuit breaker has tripped, think of these pictures.
