Yup, I did it....the snakes in these parts are yellow instead of orange.... I didn't realize until I backed into my parking spot at work that I forgot to unplug the truck this morning! Sheesh, it has been at least 4 years since I have done that! Anyway, the yellow 15' snake followed me for the entire 30 mile trip to work AND it stayed intact and ready to be used again! Unfortunately, it now knows where I work so hopefully it won't try to follow me again!

It happens to the best of us!!

 

B.T.D.T.G.T.T.S.

 

Beats the alternative.

 

This will cure the snake problem. Works well no matter what color snake you normally deal with.

Good to hear that everything is okay and the snake wasn't harmed. Probably good that its so cold up here, the snake just slid across the ground and never even got a chance to create any friction.

 

I've always wanted to invent a "docking" device where you pull into a spot and two leads touch some gizmo to energize the block heater. I really think it would work.

Beats having the snake chase you to work.

Would need to make it grand kid proof though.

 

I think that's a great idea Geico! You should go for it immediately. Don't waste any time, now!


Although I think that the shock of driving against the leads would always trip breakers, so it'd probably be best just to hardwire it for 220.

Keep us up to date on it! Post pictures!

 

I park mine backwards on the carport so I have to step over the cord to get to the drivers door. So far it has worked I haven't had the snake follow me yet.

 

oops....iv done that 2 but i only have a 3 mile drive 2 work

 

I think I'd figure out it was there about 2 miles into my commute when they stopped me at US Customs and asked if I had anything to declare. That's if someone didn't drive over it behind me.

 

I had a 20 foot one laying straight out in my driveway the other day, looked like it tried to strike at the front of my truck when i backed out, but he missed, and just layed there, there orange way up here,

 

I tried parking on top of one of those Hybrid cars, but couldn't get the energy transfer hookup correct.

 

my green snake has never followed me to work yet, but it would have a hard time, as the tail end if shackled to the garage wall to prevent others from kidnapping my pet snake. not a very good guard animal, plays dead all the time, and only bites when the ground is wet and you are barefoot [yeah, i go outside to plug in barefoot with snow on the ground]

 

I'm impressed that in 30 miles you didn't manage to run over it and yank the end off. You guys remind me of Clark W. Griswold (national lampoons vacation) at least you didn't tie your dog to the bumper.

 

Yes, I was impressed too....it was only about 15' long max but managed to stay out from under the wheels the entire trip down the highway. I have a small Mack truck block heater receptacle installed in the bumper that apparently holds onto the snake quite tight!
