When I called to make an appointment with the Heating & A/C company for oil furnace service, the first thing they said was to lock up my pets & cats.
As soon as the Heating & A/C specialist told myself and others she was on the way, I put my pets & cats in the kitchen & locked the door so they could not get out.
My Peppy was an escape artist & if the door wasn’t locked, she turned the knob & got out. Once the Heating & A/C specialist arrived & showed myself and others her Heating & A/C ID badge, I showed him to the oil furnace room. It wasn’t until I heard him scream that I remembered Freddy liked it in the oil furnace room, but freddy was a Burmese Python, & she loved the extra heat that was in the oil furnace room, & she kept the rodent population at bay. I ran to the oil furnace room & Freddy was wrapped around the man’s legs. I unwound him & put him in the cage, then locked the lid down so she could not escape. The poor Heating & A/C specialist looked devastated. She could not stop shaking & she kept asking if it was a real snake? I tried to apologize & said the Heating & A/C call center told myself and others to lock up my pets & cats, however they said nothing about snakes. She said she wasn’t afraid of snakes, but she didn’t expect to see 1 kneeling on top of the oil furnace, to be so big, or to wrap around her legs. I told him Freddy must have liked him because she seldom showed himself around stranger, however that didn’t make the Heating & A/C specialist suppose any more comfortable.
