Introduction
An attic is described as a place just below the roof and above the ceiling of a building. Florida snakes are fond of living in enclosed areas and areas where food is in regular supply. One may wonder how a snake may be living in the attic knowing that they are limbless. Some snakes are perfect climbers and so they are the type that would probably find their way into the attic seeking shelter and food. One the perfect climber snakes is the yellow rat snake. When one finds out that there is a snake in their attic, it is very important that they find ways of getting rid of such snakes before they cause harm to human beings through biting. Some of the snakes are venomous and hence getting bites from such snakes may result to complicated health problems.
