kitchen cabinets or inside garage storage boxes, simply removing one snake may not resolve the underlying attraction.
Shelter provides protection
Snakes spend considerable time hiding.
Dark, undisturbed locations can provide security from predators, extreme temperatures, and unwanted attention.
Inside a building, potential hiding places include spaces beneath appliances, behind stored furniture, inside cluttered storage areas, and along walls.
A garage filled with cardboard boxes and unused equipment may provide numerous concealed spaces.
Outdoors, woodpiles, fallen branches, dense vegetation, and abandoned materials can serve similar purposes.
Temperature matters
Snakes are ectothermic
