Not sure if I should be more concerned that I have snakes around, or more concerned that I have spiders who are capable of hunting them and dragging them up into my garage roller doors. I have also found a scorpions almost a meter up from the ground in their webbing

    Did you save a bunch of baby spiders a few years ago? Because it sounds like you’ve got an army of defence spiders protecting you from bitey stingy stuff.

    Steatoda spp. Can kill snakes, are found all around the globe and harmless to humans.

    … scorpions caught and eaten in webs? Never seen that before (and we have tiny scorpions that kinda like walls sometimes).

        He wasn’t drug up there. He climbed up there and got himself stuck. Would have been the same for the Lil snek. I find a poor little baby ring neck snake like that every once in a while.

        Yeah, I img searched it as well. Poor scorp bro turned into a juice pack.

        They could have teamed up & eat those neighbors you don’t care for.
