Snakes are just as anxious to avoid contact with humans as we are to avoid them.
It would be interesting to shoot down a conduit. Where is the other end of that conduit?

One day I was walking through the store's basement and I noticed black power cord at an unexpected location -- then I noticed that it moved! I ignored it for a few minutes and it disappeared.
There was an abandon restaurant next door and I assume that the snake was cleaning out the mice. Later I found out that a girl upstairs once had a black snake that disappeared. There were various other sightings in the complex. I didn't mind that the snake appeared to have free run of the complex. Prior to its arrival we had a few problems with mice, but these problems suddenly disappeared.

For anyone queasy about slithering critters, this site will keep you awake for a few nights (or maybe forever, use caution):
[Link: gettyimages.com]When i was a teenager i worked at a hotdog stand for a while. I bought a 2' long ball python from a guy who met me at the restaurant to make the deal. He brought it in a cardboard box. I put it in the basement and finished my shift. When i went down to get it..no snake! It crawled out and i couldn't find it.
Fast forward 3 months...my boss (70 year old guy) shows up to open the store. He grabs the mop and out comes the now 4' ball python! Almost gave him a heart attack. 3 months of mousing doubled his size.
